Olga Koch and her digital assistant ALGO return to unpack the concept of beauty, but it's hard to understand something that is defined only by itself.

Comedian and Computer Scientist Olga Koch takes a deep dive into the world of computer science with her trusty virtual assistant ALGO as the digital duo take the truths that you hold dear and tear them to shreds using logic, like a teenager on the Internet. By applying computer science to the world around her, Olga and ALGO take an hilarious and pedantic journey to reveal the inherent absurdities of the modern world.
