In the first episode of our new season, "Becoming Data," artist Mimi Onuoha and data journalist Lam Thuy Vo join our host, Natalie Kerby, to consider what is lost when human life becomes translated into data.

This season, "Becoming Data," is a partnership between the magazine Public Books and the research institution Data & Society. Follow us on Twitter @PublicBooks and @DataSociety.
