Introducing The Data Center Mural Project
ABOUT ZENFONE - Introducing The Data Center Mural Project, Whether it�s sharing photos, searching the web or translating languages, billions of requests are sent to �the cloud� every day. But few people think about how all this information flows through physical locations, called data centers. Because these buildings typically aren�t much to look at, people usually don�t�and rarely learn about the incredible structures and people inside who make so much of modern life possible.
To begin to change that, we created the Data Center Mural Project: a partnership with artists to bring a bit of the magic from the inside of our data centers to the outside.
We�re starting with two data center locations.
In Mayes County, Oklahoma, digital artist Jenny Odell�s mural is made up of Google Maps satellite imagery. Her mural artwork focuses on types of infrastructure that enable the flow of goods, power and information�not unlike data centers themselves.
Belgium local street artist Oli-B took inspiration from �the cloud� for his colorful mural on the outside of our St. Ghislain data center. He�s painted clouds that include elements specific to the region, the data center and the people who run it�including the sheep that roam the data center grounds and a balloon from the annual festival LAscension � Saint-Ghislain.
Soon, we�ll add murals at two more data centers, and eventually we hope to bring the project to more locations around the world. Check out photos, videos and more at g.co/datacentermurals.
