Entangled Messages (2025) unearths the unseen systems of connection — ecological, digital, and human — that underpin contemporary life. Mapping the fragile infrastructures shaping how we live and communicate, from fungal mycelium networks to the undersea fibre-optic cables that carry 95% of global internet data. By intricately entangling organic and technological systems, it invites reflection on the hidden structures we depend on but rarely perceive.
The installation brings these critical inquiries into material form through four interconnected works. ‘Coded – Entangled’ presents ceramic sculptures stamped with Latin seaweed and real cable names, interrogating classification, power, and extractive networks. ‘The Cable Forecast’ reimagines the BBC Shipping Forecast as a poetic sound work, blending maritime rhythm with speculative transmissions. ‘Underland Signals’ transforms a salvaged bureau into a speculative telegraph cabinet, asking what is lost when connection becomes infrastructure. Finally, ‘The Tangle Below’ envisions a posthuman seabed where digital and ecological debris quietly coalesce, inviting reflection on what remains when systems collapse.
