Not a Cloud in the Sky

Notes on my developing project about the corollaries and departures between longstanding natural ecological systems and and the particular language, costs and power of cloud computing, big data and AI.

Includes contextual research, source material and sneak peaks of new artworks in development.


Spring Work

Rachel Phillips March 23, 2025

Recent prints from winter and spring 2024-2025

Archival pigment print on German cotton rag paper with pearlescent acrylic paint. Imagery of clouds and nature from street view mapping software around data centers powering cloud computing, the world wide web and AI software.

Each image is overprinted with a unique monoprint made outdoors with non-toxic ink directly from abandoned spiderwebs. Some prints include hand-stitching or pastel accents.

Minted: The Nifty NFT Manifesto is written in the voice of a fictional aging archivist and librarian named Madge Cameron, who has long struggled to bridge the analog/digital divide. Cameron leads the reader on a trip down the rabbit hole of what she terms “Financialized Web Land” before popping up on the other side with a renewed appreciation for our material world.
