TOUCH BEYOND THE BOUNDARY
Data centers are bases for so many things your apps, your newsfeed, photos, videos. It is a building filled with servers rapidly processing digital information. Nevertheless, data centers are now inaccessible and inconspicuous for most people, and they are built in the most secret place in the world. The spaces that created is for machines and servers, it is not a space for human. As the society is more dependent on technology for information service, there is a new trend that data centers are built inside our cities. But what would happen when human live with machines? How we live with data center in our daily life and in which way data center could be injected to our society? My project tries to explore these questions and envision the way citizens touch technology when the boundary in between is blurred.
