Recalling a stage or extended podium, Monumento Connettivo is a raised floor installation inspired by the utopian architectural project Monumento Continuo (1969) by the Italian group Superstudio. It updates the concept of a seamless architectural structure that spans the world, applying it to the global network of cables and data centers that make up the Internet.
Monumento Continuo, by Superstudio (1969-1970)
Recalling the raised floors that are ubiquitous in data centers (a schema designed to accommodate the complex wiring of cloud servers), it hosts artworks on its surface, as well as others that emerge from beneath it.
On the outward edges of the floor the head plates are popping out, giving the raised floor an unfinished status, as if it could, and eventually will, keep expanding to accommodate more works and structures.
