The Wire Cocoon

from inbetween stations · host David Hartley and Merki Ann Bell

Are we being wrapped in an inescapable cocoon of wires, signals, and screens? Tune in as host David Hartley explores the great wall of modernity and asks whether there is any true wilderness left—or if everything around us is slowly becoming part of a digital reality. We take a brief look at the newly proposed A.I Data Center that will be built in the Hansel Valley of Northern Utah. A huge complex that will be twice the size of Manhattan island. And how this might possibly impact the entire state and its population. Special thanks to Sarah Asleep for making the art we are using for this show.
