Fallow/Lab
4 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 9 years ago - ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsFallow Lab is a year-long journey of exploring better balance between our virtual and actual lives. Inspired by the Jewish Shmita tradition, this journey reinterprets the biblical agricultural practive of a year of release to the land and to the farmer, reapplied for today''s social, economic and digital reality.
