DATA REFUGE
a place of shelter 


A refuge is a safe place, a place of shelter and protection
The bunker was a place of shelter and protection

Our contionuosly accumulating data, needs a safe place to be stored.

For the historic site, too become flexible for new meaning/function it needs to be reframed

We use the landscape to reframe the meaning of the bunkers

through excavating and exposing part of them, this opens up the possiblity for them too inhabit new meaning and a new presence.

Data by itself has not yet any meaning, its a open point, it can become anything,  its digital yet physical

Artist who work in the digital field, too have a refuge to work with the physical traces of the digital, to materialise the digital data and give direction meaning too data on a cultural and societal level.
