Happy Tuesday!

The Oscars are coming up and that got us thinking about the influence and representation of technology in media.

From blockbusters like Interstellar that inspired an academic paper on visualisations of black holes to shows like Mr. Robot that depict impressively realistic scenarios of the world of cybersecurity.
