This artistic research explores the burgeoning trend of data-centre urbanism and the growing demand for digital infrastructures which have been amplified by the pandemic. Utilising a combination of film, digital footage and photogrammetry, the work captures the growing architectural presence of data within Hong Kong, stimulating collective imagination around the agency and performativity of human communities within increasingly post-human urban environments.
