Vse bolj se zavedamo, da je internet fizična infrastruktura, ki jo sestavljajo ogromni podatkovni centri, podmorski optični kabli, usmerjevalniki, naprave za dostop, kot so telefoni in računalniki, omrežni objekti. Temu navkljub pa zaradi moči »oblaka« kot metafore, težavnosti vizualizacije omrežne infrastrukture in hitrosti informacij, za katere se zdi, da potujejo onkraj prostora in časa, metafora vedno premaga realnost. To, kar vemo, trči ob to, kar verjamemo, in nas ne uspe prepričati v nasprotno. Ta neuspeh je problem – nevarnejši, kot si lahko predstavljamo, saj preprečuje, da bi dosegli globlje razumevanje interneta in njegovih družbenih, političnih, ekonomskih in okoljskih implikacij. Španski umetnik 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶́𝗮, čigar glavni fokus je materialnost informacijskega prostora, skozi delo Netrdne infrastrukture in zajčje luknje naslovi odnos med spletnim in nespletnim in uveljavi dojemanje omrežja kot materialnega, fizičnega prostora.

Even if we have become more and more aware that the internet is a physical infrastructure, consisting of immense data centers, submarine optical cables, routers, access devices such as phones and computers, and networked objects; the power of the “cloud” as a metaphor, the difficulty to visualize the network infrastructure, and the speed of information that seems to travel beyond space and time, always makes the metaphor win over reality. What we know clashes against what we believe, and fails to change our mind. This failure is a problem, more dangerous than we can imagine, as it prevents us from reaching a deeper understanding of the internet and of its social, political, economic and environmental implications. In his work Unfixed Infrastructures and Rabbit Holes, Spanish artist 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶́𝗮, whose main focus is the materiality of the information space, addresses the online/offline relationship, and enforces our perception of the network as a material, physical space.
