DATAFLOWER — Flora Cache

Summary

DATAFLOWER explores the effects of expanding data centers on the natural environments that surround them. Drawing on field research into the floral varieties found near some of the world’s largest data centers, the project imagines a form of creolization between vegetal life and digital infrastructure. Inspired by the thought of Édouard Glissant, it proposes that flowers displaced, colonized, or threatened by these architectures might return to inhabit the very sites of their erasure, in the form of data, 3D models, and traces reintroduced into the exact data centers beside which they have become reluctant neighbors. Between cartography, digitization, image, and installation, DATAFLOWER stages a survival of the living through infiltration, memory, and dissemination.
