DESCRIPTION
A DATA CENTER THAT BANKS YOUR DATA:Finances, Organizes + Stores Databrining “cloud” down to the “ground” thru creating a tangible relationship between humans and technology Advances in technology have led to the already veiled banking industry - becoming increasingly opaque. The data center is a speculative bank that would respond to ubiquitous high speed data transfer through emerging technologies. The banks currency is digital data, delivered at high speed through fiber optic technology and saved/transferred/withdrawn/invested through data sever storage devices. It is important a data center become an inhabitable space for human interaction with emerging technology in order to effectively invest and facilitate personal data for the present and future. More importantly, emerging technologies maintain the human necessity for connection to the evolving world.TRANSCRIPT

NOHO_GREAT JONES + LAFAYETTE FROM “CLOUD” TO “GROUND”CREATING A TANGIBLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS + TECHNOLOGY
AS EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES CONTINUE TO WEAVE SOCIAL PLATFORMS + THE HUMAN DESIRE TO SECURE DATA, IT’S IMPORTANT DATA CENTERS EVOLVE IN
CONJUNCTION AND OPERATE THRU A TWO-WAY EXCHANGE PROCESS. THERE IS A NEED TO PROCESS DATA QUANTITATIVELY AND ALSO QUALITITATIVELY. THEREFORE, HUMAN INTERACTION WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY INVEST AND FACILIATE FUTURE DATA FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE.
DATA CENTRIC TECHNOLOGIES MAINTAIN THE HUMAN CONNECTION WITHIN THE EVOLVING WORLD.
