Episode 58

Are maps art?  Well of course they are and especially so if Daniel O’Donohue from MapScaping has created it.  We chat to Daniel about MapScaping, and Danish GIS.  In the news we look at a huge Class Action, we see what Facebook has been up to to locate potential users in Africa and we have the ubiquitous article about Game of Thrones.
