In this episode, we welcomed Christopher Fabian (UNICEF) and artist Cole Sternberg to talk about Giga, the joint initiative by UNICEF and the ITU that aims to connect every school in the world to the Internet. Presented at Paris Photo 2025, their monumental installation A Garden transforms real-time school connectivity data into a generative artwork, showcased on a giant LED monolith. Each connected school becomes a unique composition, celebrating communities while making the digital divide visible.
The discussion explored both the artistic and social dimensions of the project: how art can raise awareness around universal Internet access while giving visibility and pride to schools often left out of global conversations.
