This project is an installation and sculpture-based mapping simulating a speculative archaeology scenario in China’s Guizhou karst landscape. By presenting the presence of technological products as the evidence of geological strata that have been mined, Down to the underground Karst landscape aims to question how we could search for traces recording the entanglement between data centers and the landscape beneath the natural surface.
