Restart Radio: The Big Fix and the art of glitches

In this show, we discussed with Restarter Dave Lukes the "Big Fix", Hackney's festival of repair taking place this Saturday, featuring a Restart Party, as well as bike, furniture, fabric repair workshops and much more. We then spoke to Restarter Orsetta Hosquet about a US laptop refurbisher turned artist, inspired by the glitches produced by faulty video cards he was substituting. This made us think about perfection and appreciating faults, when possible. We then talked about the wave of consumerist events leading us to the end of the year, the infamous Black Friday and more.
