We consider the Internet as something floating in the air, impalpable, and ethereal.

The series reveals a small piece of the massive infrastructure that stands behind it.

Bursting in the half-light basement the nerveless flash light makes the chaotic mass of wires come to the surface.

A second set of images produced using Google Street View shows the facades of New York’s data centers. These blind sightless buildings host the terminal and junction points of these immense infrastructures that physically innervate the earth’s surface and that exist in a condition of non-visibility, hidden behind blind windows rather than buried or submerged at the bottom of the oceans.

The visible emerges in the form of a constant flow of data, information, and images. We tend to imagine this restless flux as without a body, without weight, but the abstract always shows its roots in the tangible.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
