What do sunfish in the Danube have to do with a data center in Kronstorf, Upper Austria? In “Thirsty Data”, Christina Gruber explores the paths and infrastructures of digital networks and sheds light on their impact on material flows and the environment.
Starting from a plot of land in Upper Austria that was acquired by Google, various watery phenomena of the cloud manifest themselves in the Kulturdrogerie Wien. This creates new connections between the immaterial “streams” and the underground water flows of the Gentzgasse.
Christina Gruber is a freshwater ecologist and artist whose work focuses on rivers and landscapes in transition.
