Datascape. Speculative city for data to inhabit
Erik López

What is the impact of data in the physical world? The exponential rise of data is profoundly affecting the physical environment, and its uncontrolled proliferation will continue to reshape and alter the landscape. However, these impacts may not be immediately apparent.

Datascape represents the evolution of data growth and the data center as a monument. It aims to explore and visually represent the impact of massive data production on the physical landscape by designing a Speculative city for data to inhabit, illustrating the potential implications of this impact in the future. It calls for a critical examination of our digital practices and encourages responsible and sustainable approaches to data production and consumption.

The project was developed within the context of ETSAB.
