Office for Digital Oblivion
On Material and Operational Complexities of Contemporary Data Infrastructures
The Office for Digital Oblivion is a project that aims to re-ground discourse on information technologies and the realm of the digital through engagement with its immediate material conditions and operations.

It aims to to challenge perceived banalities around information infrastructures, tracing systems through scales, aiming to spatialise and thus problematise operational complexities which due to their scale remain largely illegible. With that, it puts forward new approaches to conceive of infrastructural systems, transgressing purely technocratic dogmas and new ways of thinking, worlding and becoming-together in the Anthropocene.
