Nodal Narratives of the Deep Sea - Aarti Sunder
Aarti Sunder ( India )
This project is a story of hidden critical infrastructure that is part investigative, part narrative fictive and part instructional, and is an exploration of how human and non-human lives interact with and exist alongside deep-sea cables. It rests 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 looks at its layers of in/visibility.
This residency is funded in collaboration with Junge Akademie der Künste Berlin under the program “AI Anarchies”.
