City in the Cloud – Data on the Ground looks beneath the surface of the digital world. Data feels immaterial, yet it’s built on vast physical networks—raw material extraction, undersea cables, and ever-growing, energy-hungry data centers. These infrastructures don’t just shape economies and politics; they reshape landscapes, labor, and lives—often along (neo)colonial lines.

Our design uses a modern serif font and a radically reduced visual language—clear, direct, and informative. It mirrors the exhibition’s architecture: both minimal and revealing, exposing the structures that usually stay unseen.
