+ 1 AMRO18// Christina Gruber - Digital Water - No Water. No Cloud. Created at 6. Aug. 2018 5312 Ansichten by servus BeschreibungEmbed Presentation | Art Meets Radical Openness 2018 Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism & Open Culture. Our daily life is based on interactions and ever more often our communication takes place online. As to say the “analog” world, the “real” life, is slowly transferred into the digital world. It becomes intangible. But what if the digital is located on this planet and feeds on it as much as we humans do? My talk will deal with the manifestations of the digital “Cloud” the software and hardware platforms supporting data centers, physical transmission links, browser-based applications, and so forth. The hypothesis is: No Water. No Cloud. This indicates that the only way to stop the ongoing surveillance of our online activities is to cut the water supply of surveillance agencies. It became clear that the Cloud is ultimately dependent on water in form of electricity and cooling systems. I started thinking about the abstract, immaterial system of the Cloud and how it becomes part of our environment. All of a sudden, my cloudy imaginations of this mystical data ship floating weightless in cyberspace turned into a body relying, as my own, on water. I collect pieces of the Cloud and its manifestations to indicate the material world of the immaterial Cloud. One of these Clouds is about to form in a village in Upper Austria, where Google purchased 780.000 m2 of land for a future “Cloud factory”. http://cargocollective.com/christinagruber/works/DIGITAL-WATER -- Christina Gruber is an artist and freshwater ecologist living and working in Vienna, Austria. She works at the intersection of art and science; her work deals with societal phenomena that shape our world. These relate to the Anthropocene, a concept that describes human beings as the main force changing the earth’s surface. Gruber investigates the effects humans have and had on the landscape and how they’ve shaped the earth’s surface. In the last years water is of special interest to her. She sees it as the element that all things on earth, including humans, have in common. It is the connector between stories of different places and layers, running through everything, from clouds to datacenters. http://www.christinagruber.net -- Video licence: servus.at, CC BY-SA Program: http://www.radical-openness.org/program/2018 http://www.radical-openness.org Program point: https://radical-openness.org/en/programm/2018/digital-water-no-water-no… Share & Embed Embed this Video Link to this Video Add new comment Kommentar verfassen login or register to post comments. servus.at 137 Videos, 2 Members #Tags AMRO clouds ecology Festival google databases 2018 Anthropocene surveillance servus.at More from Channel 00:55:41 Valie Djordjevic / Transparency and obfuscation Valie Djordjevic - Transparency and obfuscation / AMRO 2014 servus.at since 11 years 1 month 00:53:13 Konrad Becker / Cultural Intelligence and Control: Tactics-Strategy-Operations Konrad Becker - Cultural Intelligence and Control: Tactics-S servus.at since 11 years 1 month 00:44:09 Tatiana Bazzichelli / Disrupting Business Tatiana Bazzichelli - Disrupting Business: Towards a Critiqu servus.at since 11 years 1 month 00:40:45 Lecture | Art Meets Radical Openness 2016 AMRO16 | Charles Céleste Hutchins - @BlockAllTwerps servus.at since 8 years 12 months 01:07:32 Lecture | Art Meets Radical Openness 2016 AMRO16 | Daniel Neyland - Demarcation, Disposal, Deletion servus.at since 8 years 12 months 01:27:40 Panel | Art Meets Radical Openness 2016 AMRO16 | Disruption Network Lab - Capturing Network Traffic servus.at since 8 years 12 months 00:32:16 Presentation | Art Meets Radical Openness 2016 AMRO16 | Marloes de Valk - A Contemporary Delphic Oracle servus.at since 8 years 12 months 01:08:43 For most of us consumers electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, printers or Behind the Smart World - Über Fragen von Verwertbarkeit und servus.at since 10 years 1 month 01:18:32 Festival ART MEETS RADICAL OPENNESS 2016 Felix Stalder: Radical Openness & the Crisis servus.at since 9 years 1 month 01:52:23 Die servus Operette in vier Akten entstand als waschechtes Community-Projekt.
