As The Digital Human celebrates its 10th anniversary Aleks Krotoski presents a very special edition of Archive on 4 with music and guests live from the Edinburgh Festival.

With a decade of peeking down every dark alleyway of the internet The Digital Human has a unique archive of our lives lived online; how we connect to one another, how we explore and express who we are and how we accept these new technological innovations into our lives often without question. Aleks selects the most revealing and thought provoking stories from our back catalogue to see how far we've come and where our technologies might be taking us.

To help here explore these ideas Aleks will be joined by Emma Smith who'll reach out to the audience in Edinburgh and at home through the uniquely digital form of performance ASMR, have you headphones ready! Poet and comedian Kate Fox will talk about how she found her tribe online after being diagnosed as autistic in her 40s. And after his technology fable Appliance was short listed for the Orwell Literary prize, award winning poet and novelist J.O. Morgan will offer a meditation on our relationship with technology with a specially commissioned piece of writing.

Throughout music will beprovided by Andrew Wasylyk playing music specially composed for the occasion.
