City in the Cloud: Data on the Ground includes a visual research project by Giulia Bruno investigating the hidden architectures, ecologies and energy systems that sustain digital infrastructures. City in the Cloud: Data on the Ground investigates the hidden architectures, ecologies, and energies that sustain digital infrastructures. The exhibition traces the physical foundations of the so-called “cloud,” revealing its entanglement with urban, environmental, and social systems. Through photography and research, Giulia Bruno explores the material and conceptual dimensions of data infrastructures. Her work examines how technological landscapes intersect with human perception, translating the abstract flows of information into tangible spatial and visual experiences. By bringing into focus the architectures of computation and their environmental imprints, her practice opens a critical reflection on the relationship between image, system, and territory.
