Net Works explores the entangled relationship of media and nature through sculpture, installation and interactive digital media, transforming the Internet into a trap for the viewer. Underwater data cables that support the Internet weave through oceans unseen, mirroring the same pathways that the unknowable eel travels along. Through electromagnetic listening and data sniffing, this body of work imagines these local shoreline sites through the perspective of the eel and the cable, considering how both are ecologically entwined, along with our own relationship to media and nature.
