Bundled, Buried & Behind Closed Doors, A Documentary About the Massive Material Infrastructure of the Internet

“Bundled, Buried & Behind Closed Doors” by Ben Mendelsohn is a short documentary on the material infrastructure of the Internet—massive data centers like 60 Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan that serve as the physical, unseen hubs for the Internet.

Lower Manhattan’s 60 Hudson Street is one of the world’s most concentrated hubs of Internet connectivity. Set in the dense, mixed-use neighborhood of Tribeca, the building’s nondescript brick exterior conceals several network interconnection facilities where huge amounts of data are exchanged. This short documentary peeks inside, offering a glimpse of the massive material infrastructure that makes the Internet possible.
