The cyanotype prints presented here are based on satellite views of mining sites containing minerals essential to the formation of digital infrastructure. Calia’s usage of pre-existing imagery is a response to the overabundance of images in our current environment. He also uses the cyanotype process to imagine a Cloud Atlas, mapping the vast geographical breadth of the physical infrastructure that is essential to the production, storage and circulation of information today.
