Join us on Sept 4th at 16.00 for a(nother) data centre walk to the controversial Equinix hyperscaler under construction in Amsterdam Zuid Oost. Infrastructure walks are like guided tours of the city, or birdwatching expeditions – but instead of pointing out noteworthy architectural details of historical buildings or showing participants how to best observe particular species of birds, we will explore the digital infrastructures deployed in public spaces. In this case, a piece of land undergoing an infrastructural transformation into a speculative cloud factory. A transformation that places significant strain on the community of Amsterdam Zuid Oost, Amsterdam’s land, energy, and water systems, and the city’s housing aspirations.
