Through postindustrial landscapes to contemporary data infrastructures ︎

Industrial and computational infrastructures are not neutral technological developments, but ideological systems that reorganise agency, ecology, and temporality under capitalism. Through postindustrial landscapes and contemporary data infrastructures, this performance lecture explores how modernity continuously imposes alien architectures onto communities and environments while simultaneously producing myths of progress.

Using archival footage and critical storytelling, we invite the audience to trace the past, present, and future through the landscape of Didcot Power Station, which is soon to be transformed into a planned Amazon hyperscale data centre.
