Book Launch: “Acid Clouds: Mapping Data Centre Topologies”, 10 October

On 10 October at 20.00, the Institute of Network Cultures and the Hogeschool van Amsterdam are organizing a book launch of Acid Clouds: Mapping Data Centre Topologies at Spui 25.

Acid Clouds: Mapping Data Centre Topologies explores the hidden infrastructures of our digital lives, exposing the political, ecological, and social dynamics embodied by data centres. During the book launch, editors Niels Schrader and Jorinde Seijdel  will dive deeper into the themes explored in the publication: what do the different lenses, essays and nighttime photography tell us about the infrastructures and consequences of data centres? Afterwards media theorist Geert Lovink and Archival and Information expert Annet Dekker will talk about the data centre topologies from their own specialisations.
