The City is a Server

We no longer dwell in the real, rather digital domains across machines. Landscape reformats. Architecturally, a server that erases all, free from history and all metaphysical limitations. Building indistinguishable from a server farm. An endless expanse of servers without a trace of history; without a sense of place, anything to relate to. Architecture that has no references, architecture that impossibly cannot produce a negative. A prison like condition of walls in physical and virtual forms. Walls; screens that we bury ourselves in, taken to the extreme. Purposeful rebuilding of the cave.
