DATA CENTERS: Edges of a wired nation

Questions of privacy, borders, and nationhood are increasingly shaping the way we think about all things digital. Data Centers brings together essays and photographic documentation that analyze recent and ongoing developments. Taking Switzerland as an example, the book takes a look at the country's data centers, law firms, corporations, and government institutions that are involved in the creation, maintenance, and regulation of digital infrastructures. Beneath the official storyline—Switzerland’s moderate climate, political stability, and relatively clean energy mix—the book uncovers a much more varied and sometimes contradictory set of narratives.

Andres, as a research associate on this project, played an instrumental role in its creation. By conducting field research that included place scouting, in-depth interviews and field-recordings with several accounts, Andres provided valuable insights that enriched the content.
