Untitled Data Centers investigates the hidden industrialization of the American landscape through the lens of digital infrastructure. Using Google Earth imagery, documenting hundreds of artificial intelligence data center compounds spanning over the entire United States, operated by Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and the U.S. government. These sites represent only a small fraction of the active AI data centers today, yet even this small sample reveals the scale of a largely invisible empire that is shaping our environment, economy, and society.

By appropriating satellite imagery, the very infrastructure enabling these systems, turns surveillance back on itself, exposing the brutalism of our digital world. These facilities consume roughly one million gallons of water per day and as much electricity as 75,0000 homes, transforming natural landscapes into one vast, engineered motherboard. They operate largely beyond public oversight, traceable only through mandatory disclosures, such as backup generator purchases, leaving most construction projects hidden from public databases.

These corporations are not just reshaping the physical landscape; they’re rewriting the narrative of progress and reality itself to benefit their own interests and those of the government. Through AI, they’re redefining how we see, work, and understand the world, all while tightening control over the flow of information. As AI continues to expand, so does its hunger for energy, land, and water, creating an exponentially growing demand for resources. By presenting these hidden infrastructures visually, Untitled Data Centers invites viewers to witness the environmental and political clash of this digital industrial revolution. Positioning the audience within a network of observation, transforming surveillance into critique, and asking what it means to live under systems that consolidate power under the false guise of progress.
