When we share images, send emails, chat with AI or pay our taxes online we are using the cloud.

What we call “the cloud” is far from a fluffy, placeless mist. It emerges from physical data centres, and their relations to energy, people and places. Data centres are increasing in Sweden due to cheap land, cheap low carbon electricity, a cool climate and good internet connectivity. As the cloud expands it creates conflicts and transforms landscapes. As part of our research project we want to invite the public to explore a small part of the digital cloud, into a data centre and out into the landscapes that power them.

The exhibition is produced by Flora Mary Bartlett and Julia Velkova featuring work by the research team and three pop-up books produced in collaboration with artist .

Where is the Cloud? is open until the 31st August 2025 at , Norrköping and can be found on floor 5 as part of DIGITOPIA. Welcome!
