The video footage for this project was shot within the borders of Council Bluffs, IA, from March 11-16, 2014. Since 2007, Google has opened two data centers in the city. Intrigued by the increasing trend by big tech companies in building server farms in the Midwest, we decided to go capture the transformations, slippages, and interferences between agriculture, industry, ag-industry, and the new information economy as reflected in the landscape. Throughout the video you can see farmland, trains, power plants, grain elevators, the ConAgra logo, and Google’s primary color scheme hinted at on the outside of the first data center they built in the city.
