150+ networked microcomputers: an abstract data centre. ever chaning, always on: a mesmerizing diplay of algorithmic logic and complexity. the installation hangs in 3 large windows above the main entrance to the school, positioned on top of a hill looking over aarhus. cloud array is in constant dialogue with the sky.
