Tactical Tech's Exposing the Invisible houses many inspiring women around the world who use digital technologies to expose human rights violations and corruption

Mari Bastashevski is an artist, researcher, a writer and an investigator. Her work blurs the line between these fields deliberately. She focuses on issues of systemic failure and international conflict profiteering and the information vacuum that surrounds these issues.

In these four interviews, which come with both a written and video interview, ETI covers her processes and practices in Modes of Operating, sorting through data dumps and finding the stories and context within them in From Gigabytes to Stories, her use of photography in her work in Observe the Unobservable and lastly her dissatisfaction with the results of her work but enjoying the labour nonetheless in "Enjoy the Labour, Never the Fruits."
