Landscapes of Data


Landscapes of Data – 数据景观

Not only has technology brought about a fresh notion of seeing the city, but it has even brought forth new concepts of what a city is and whom is a part of the city. As our contemporary cities have expanded in physical form, so has their footprint. Dichotomies of rural and urban have started to blur, as it is more and more evident that our urban spaces rely upon the “rural” for its sustenance. Further, the infrastructures that once defined out notions of the city have extended out into the hinterlands and are industrializing the countryside. Concepts like constellation urbanism attempt to describe our cities not by the walls that used to define them, but the nodes and networks that link them. But despite these systematic linkages, the human connections are often lacking in our modern society.

This installation is based upon a real project and real client on the edge of Ningde in Fujian province. The client is a high tech, data client. They possess spatial imaging patented software that they use to gather data from their satellites, drones, and cameras within greenhouses. With their “eyes” they observe their foodscapes or high tech farms. They collect this data on how the plants grow, how soil behaves, etc. and that is their ‘product’ – the data – not the plants themselves. This allows them to possess immense knowledge on the nature… of nature… and how it relates to what we all eat to survive.

The installation itself seeks to illustrate how these layers of viewing datascapes allows for a different engagement for citizens with their food, how their food is made, the communities it is made within, the networks that bring them their food, and the communities of people that work to provide these food sources. We literally break the layers of viewing into extruded forms and allow visitors to engage with the plants on different levels and from different perspectives. We project the data harvested from the site back upon the installed landscape components to depict to the viewer the reality of this extra layer that can be ‘seen’ with these new lenses.

As our eyes are no longer limited by our human capacity, our cities are no longer limited by what we humans can walk to. Technology has warped our world its landscapes. We can leverage this warped reality to bring us closer to each other even if we are far apart.

技术不仅带来了一个全新的城市观念,而且带来了一个关于城市是什么以及谁是城市一部分的新概念。随着当代城市的物理形式不断扩张,其足迹也在不断增加。农村和城市的二分法开始变得模糊,因为城市空间的运维越来越依赖于“农村”。此外,曾经用来界定城市的基础设施已扩展到农村腹地并使之工业化。像星座都市主义这样的概念,不再用具有隔离意义的墙壁,而是用连接它们的节点和网络来界定我们的城市。尽管这些系统之间相互关联,但我们现代社会却缺乏人与人之间的联系。

这个装置是基于福建省宁德边缘的真实项目和真实客户产生的。客户是一个高科技的数据客户端,拥有空间成像专利软件,从温室内的卫星、无人机和摄像机收集数据,并用他们的“眼睛”观察他们的食物景观或高科技农场。他们收集了关于植物生长方式、土壤表现等方面的数据,他们的“产品”正是这些数据,而不是植物本身。这使他们能够掌握来自自然、关于自然的知识,以及它与我们赖以为生的食物之间的关系。

该装置展示了可视化数据景观如何将市民带入享受食物、制作食物和社区形成的过程中来,并对那些为他们提供食物的网络和提供食物来源的社区产生关注。我们打造了一种多层次观看的形式,令参观者从不同层面和不同视角观察这些植物。我们将从站点收集的数据投影到已安装的景观组件上,向参观者展示这些可以通过新镜头“看到”的其他层次的真实情况。

由于我们的眼睛不再受身体能力的限制,城市也将不再受限于我们足迹所能到达的范围。科技已经改变了我们的世界,即使相隔很远,这种经过改变的现实也使我们彼此更加接近。
