Eva Pel's new film Art for Data Center Workers explores the uncanny spaces where our data is stored. Inspired by a man whose responsibilities included caring for the ice cubes for the cooling system, Eva's film explores a space that is in-between our virtual and physical space.
'Art For Data Center Workers' is a short film made on location at the AMS-IX/Nikhef data center in Amsterdam. The oldest en most important datacenter for the internet in Europe.
The film explores the data center through a strange exhibition curated by Eva Pel, 'Art for Data Center Workers', with works by Semâ Bekirovic, Katharina Galland, Stefan Gross, Lucas Hoeben, Wjm Kok. Most works are site specific for this film.
