Technoculture Podcast

Technoculture brought together one-to-one conversations across technology, research, art and science, with a focus on the ways digital systems influence human experience and public life.

What is Technoculture?

Launched in 2018, the series approached technological change through extended discussions with people working across research, cultural heritage, the arts and related fields. Its editorial thread was a simple but wide-ranging question: how do digital tools alter the ways people live, remember, learn and relate to one another?

The programme treated technology not only as a technical subject but also as a cultural one. Episodes considered the relationship between new tools and long-standing questions about memory, identity, knowledge and collective life.

Each conversation was designed to make room for a specialist perspective while retaining a broad public context. The archive includes discussions that move between scientific practice, digital preservation, visual communication, cybersecurity and the study of consciousness.

Research, culture and digital memory

A recurring theme in the series was the preservation and interpretation of cultural material in digital forms. The episodes considered how recorded sound, audiovisual collections and other materials can be carried into new technical environments without losing the context that gives them meaning.

That concern connects practical questions of documentation and access with larger questions about how communities remember their histories. The archive therefore remains useful as a record of conversations around technology and culture at a particular moment in time.
