Unseen Being is a monthly show from Kinda Studios, talking with artists, scientists and each other about what’s happening inside our brains and bodies when we experience the world around us.

Consider this a monthly audio handbook, curated by artists, neuroscientists and technologists – a critical guide to understand the wellbeing of experience in the current age.
