Paperback. Condition: New. Questions of privacy, borders, and nationhood are increasingly shaping the way we think about all things digital. Data Centers brings together essays and photographic documentation that analyze recent and ongoing developments. Taking Switzerland as an example, the book takes a look at the country's data centers, law firms, corporations, and government institutions that are involved in the creation, maintenance, and regulation of digital infrastructures. Beneath the official storyline- Switzerland's moderate climate, political stability, and relatively clean energy mix-the book uncovers a much more varied and sometimes contradictory set of narratives.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Computer-based technologies for the production and analysis of data have been an integral part of biological research since the 1990s at the latest. This not only applies to genomics and its offshoots but also to less conspicuous subsections such as ecology. But little consideration has been given to how this new technology has changed research practically. How and when do data become questionable? To what extent does necessary infrastructure influence the research process? What status is given to software and algorithms in the production and analysis of data? These questions are discussed by the biologists Philipp Fischer and Hans Hofmann, the philosopher Gabriele Gramelsberger, the historian of science and biology Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, the science theorist Christoph Hoffmann, and the artist Hannes Rickli. The conditions of experimentation in the digital sphere are examined in four chapters-"Data," "Software," "Infrastructure," and "in silico"-in which the different perspectives of the discussion partners complement one another. Rather than confirming any particular point of view, Natures of Data deepens understanding of the contemporary basis of biological research.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An investigation into the complex politics of data centres, through photographs and essays. Often hidden in plain sight, data centers are the backbone of our internet. They store, communicate and transport the information we produce and access daily along invisible pathways. The industry of data centres comes entwined with an iconography of generic, bland and sterile architectures: placeless, inconspicuous, anonymous structures - buildings, cable ducts, junction boxes and landing sites that could be anywhere, generating virtual infrastructures that are both everywhere and nowhere. Bringing together photography, essays and case studies, Data Centers explores the entanglements of place, past and digital infrastructure, taking Switzerland as its example. Beyond the official story - Switzerland's favourable alpine climate, relatively low energy costs, the political stability of the area and its strategic positioning in Central Europe - Data Centers uncovers the narratives of techno-nationalist aspirations; of Swiss Chinese interdependence; of deregulation and once-almighty telecommunications enterprises; of cold-war legacies and the multi-billion dollar business of data security. AUTHORS: Monika Dommann is Professor of Modern History at the University of Zurich. Topics in her research and teaching are the intertwining of the Old and New Worlds, media-, economic- and legal history, the history of knowledge and science as well as the methods of historical science. She has a special focus on the history of material cultures, immaterial goods, logistics and data centres. Hannes Rickli is a visual artist and has held a professorship at the Zurich University of the Arts since 2004. From 1988 to 1994, he worked as a freelance photographer for various newspapers and magazines and has staged visual art exhibitions in Switzerland and abroad since 1991. In 2004, he was awarded the Meret Oppenheim Prize from the Swiss Federal Office for Culture. His teaching and research focus on the instrumental use of media and space. Max Stadler is a post-doctoral researcher at ETH Zurich (Science Studies and Collegium Helveticum). He has received a Ph.D. in the history of science, technology and medicine from CHoSTM, Imperial College, London. His research interests center on the history of "high-tech," labour, and the human sciences. 160 images Who manages our data? A look behind the scenes of state-of-the-art IT infrastructures.Data centers are high-tech functional buildings, strictly protected treasuries and covert centers of power.The first comprehensive analysis of the history and present of IT infrastructures using the example of Switzerland.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Often hidden in plain sight, data centers are the backbone of our Internet. They store, communicate, and transport the information we produce and access along invisible pathways. Unlike industrial plants, data centers come entwined with an iconography of generic, bland, and sterile architectures: placeless, inconspicuous, anonymous structures - buildings, cable ducts, junction boxes and landing sites that could be anywhere, generating a 'cloud' that is both everywhere and nowhere.Bringing together photographic works, essays and case studies Data Centers explores the mutual, typically fraught entanglements of place, past and digital infrastructure, taking Switzerland as their example. Underneath the official storyline - Switzerland's favorable alpine climate, the relatively low energy-costs, the political stability of the area, and its strategic positioning in central Europe - Data Centers uncovers a more varied, inconclusive set of trajectories: narratives of techno-nationalist aspirations; of Swiss-Chinese interdependencies; of deregulation and once-mighty telecommunications enterprises; of cold-war legacies and the multi-billion-dollar business of data security.; Rechenzentren sind das versteckte Rückgrat unseres Internets. Sie speichern, transportieren und verbreiten die Informationen, die wir produzieren und konsumieren, entlang unsichtbarer Pfade. Anders als Fabriken sind Rechenzentren verbunden mit einer Ikonografie generischer, farbloser und steriler Architekturen. Es sind ortlose, unauffällige und anonyme Strukturen: Gebäude, Kabelschächte, Verteilerkästen und Areale, die vielerorts auf der Welt stehen können und eine Cloud generieren, die zugleich überall und nirgends ist. Anhand von Fotografien, Essays und Fallstudien untersucht Data Centers die wechselseitigen, typischerweise spannungsgeladenen Verflechtungen von Ort, Vergangenheit und digitaler Infrastruktur am Beispiel der Schweiz. Hinter dem offiziellen Narrativ - dem günstigen alpinen Klima der Schweiz, den vergleichsweise niedrigen Energiekosten, der politischen Stabilität der Region und ihrer strategischen Positionierung in Mitteleuropa - legt Data Centers vielfältigere, nicht eindeutige Zusammenhänge offen: Erzählungen von techno-nationalistischen Bestrebungen, von schweizerisch-chinesischen Interdependenzen, von Deregulierung und einst allmächtigen Telekommunikationsunternehmen, von Vermächtnissen des kalten Krieges und dem Milliardengeschäft mit der Datensicherheit. 344 pp. Englisch.…
