What we have seen this week
Scary cover time?
WannaCry infected laptop. This was the ransomware infection that got into the NHS digital systems, because they were running old Windows 7 that had not been updated (currently displayed at the Science Museum).
Framed 1980’s poster in the ‘Guerilla Girls’ exhibition at the Andaluz Centre for Contemporary Art. Disgracefully more relevant today than ever.
The unexpected ramifications of coronavirus!
What we are watching this week
Unnerving and dark adaption of the Stephen King novel about a horrific crime that is not what it appears to be. Directed by Jason Bateman and adapted by Richard Price (The Wire, The Night Of).
