Ingrid Burrington’s large-scale lenticular prints show politically and technologically significant sites – data centers, air bases, space stations, downlinks – captured by high-resolution aerial photography. The lenticulars show two versions of a single location at different points in time, to reveal the instability and shifting realities of satellite views. We see sites before and after data centers’ construction, building details camouflaged by filters, and whole locations blurred out in censorship. Until recently, Google was much more secretive about the location of its data centers. It’s likely they chose Lithia Springs (completed in 2006) for the existing cable infrastructure from a previous data center built in 1999 by the now-defunct Exodus Communications.
