Paesaggi digitali: le manifestazioni spaziali delle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione
2020
The paper aims to investigate the evolution of the relationship between digital technologies and physical reality, through observing the main spatial manifestations of digital information and communication technologies. In the last decades, the flow of digital information began to materialize itself in a very physical infrastructure made of transcontinental cables and data centers. The analysis revealed the growing environmental and geopolitical implications of digital technologies.
