Living Surfaces explores submarine fibre-optic cables, which carry over 97% of global internet traffic. These cables, laid on the ocean floor, have become part of the marine ecosystem, supporting the growth of microorganisms and algae that benefit marine life. The installation, with aluminium cylinders filled with seawater and immersed cables, highlights how life persists and adapts, creating its own micro-ecosystem despite the infrastructure's permanence and environmental challenges.
