Session 2 | Internet Tour: a walk through the invisible infrastructure

When you open a web page or send a message, what really happens? The internet isn't an ethereal cloud. It's cables, boxes, nondescript buildings, beaches and seas where submarine connections are buried. Physical infrastructure that goes unnoticed in the heart of the city. Internet Tour is a tour of the places nobody visits. The points where the Internet flows through.

Since 2018, collective walks have been held in different neighbourhoods and cities to make these hidden architectures visible, from data centres in industrial estates to the beach sand, where the cables that connect continents lie. In this edition, we will explore the area around the Canòdrom to trace the internet's trail back to the facility. We will be joined by visual artist Mario Santamaria, who has devised the route, and architects from Col·lectiu Punt6, taking notes on how these infrastructures shape our daily lives. We will document the route and post it online so that anyone can follow it.

Organised by: Canòdrom.
