This project was a story of hidden critical infrastructure that was part investigative, part narrative fictive and part instructional, and was an exploration of how human and non-human lives interact with and exist alongside deep-sea cables. It rested on not only underlining the immense importance of submarine cables (often left to the realm of curiosity and footnotes) as historical conduits of power, resource allocation, distribution and labor, but also looked at its layers of in/visibility.
This residency is funded in collaboration with Junge Akademie der Künste Berlin under the program “AI Anarchies”.
