Good morning, this is Zelda bringing you the latest tech news, with an important focus on resilience and ways to find solutions to concrete problems.

We'll look for hope in local production with the second episode of our resilience series podcast and our guest Prof. Suzanne de Treville. We'll discuss the relation between digital and creation with the Geneva International Film Festival, and wonder about technological innovations at the service of art presented at the latest ArtTech Forum.
