This chapter is about data centres: large, dedicated buildings in which interconnected servers are used to store and process digital information on an industrial scale. This information is collected and utilised for commercial or administrative purposes by governments, organisations and companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Arguably, it is the ability (or lack thereof) to collect, store and process information that determines which companies and organisations will dominate the current information economy, as well as the digital media culture of the future. The technologies and business models associated with data centres are commonly referred to as ’cloud computing’—sometimes even hailed as a new computing paradigm (Armbrust 2010)—which has the practical consequence that increasingly more information, as well as the means to process that information, becomes centralised resources in the hands of a few, large actors (Andrejevic 2009).
