My current body of work seeks to activate the materiality of information and its agency within the landscape and local economies. My research looks at data centers and the copious amount of water that is used cool the servers as a way to bring a materiality to the interconnected network of signals and communication called the internet.
I use the desktop as a space to contemplate place, a complicated web-of-sites, and as a tool to its perception as ether. The network of rivers, dams, and pipes that contribute to the cooling of servers also accentuate a network of the “psychic and social complex of the global central nervous system”.. [1]
