We see the data center as an object of unconsciousness that we are not aware of, but certainly it mediates our daily life. Following [In]consio, we provide a physical experience of exploring  the unconsciousness. The journey of the spaces along the circulation will provide an extension of the unconscious about THE unfamiliar Infrastructure. Data centers come in heterogeneous uses and shapes. Therefore, we propose the experience of creating a psychological knot for the data center within the individual＊s unconscious by projecting the primeval image of the night sky into the server room.

The night sky seen by ancient Romans thousands of years ago and the night sky seen by World War II soldiers from Sant＊Anna d＊Alfaedo share the same Archetype. And it now illuminates us in the present. In the light of the servers shimmering in the dark, look out of the frame at the starry sky of the breathtaking natural park of Lessinia. It evokes our collective unconscious about the stars and leads to the illusion of reversal.
