Connectivity lies in its ability to spread and expand. It exists within shared layers of common physicality and history, which lead to new outcomes and possibilities. Connectivity tells a story of how the world operates as one interconnected system, leaving traces of constant movement and change over time.
Today, connectivity takes a unique spatial form: the internet. AI algorithms use vast amounts of data to anticipate people's desires, preferences, and potential deviances. These predictive systems dictate what is seen online, what products are recommended, and even what news should be encountered.
This power of images distorts reality and forms a visual fragmentation.
Formed on rich cornich land, the Delabole slate quarry forms new ways of seeing reality and its ability to tell new information within just the frame of a screen – a central form to which we connect today. Presenting the quarry as an educational environment, inserted screens would act as spatial tools that connect distant locations and intense narratives, encouraging us to question how places, stories, and functions are linked.
The proposal makes the landscape to be seen not just as isolated parts but as a living system of material, spatial, and historical relations. It aims to make these hidden networks visible where the physical and the digital, the past and the present, converge.
