Trans-Tech Ascensions reflects upon cloud technology and its implication that the stored data is transformed into something non-physical. Strings of flags hanging from a cell phone tower represent lines of servers, lifted from their hardware imprisonment into lightness and thereby becoming something potentially magical.
Excerpt of voice-over text:
Which noise does the cloud make? Where does it reside? Can we press our ears close to the earth and listen to the currents of data rushing through the cables in the ground and the wifi signals in the air?
