SEA-ME-WE3 (2024)

‘SEA-ME-WE3’ (2024) is an installation about the hidden material infrastructures of the internet. It reveals how something we often imagine as abstract and weightless—“the cloud,” “data flow,” or the color blue—is in fact dependent on physical systems: undersea cables, data centers, electricity, and vast amounts of water.

At its core, the work reimagines the SEA-ME-WE3 cable, the world’s longest submarine internet cable, as a flowing water-filled tube connecting three vases. The circulating water echoes both the invisible movement of global data and the environmental cost of cooling digital servers.

By tracing the digital journey of a single photo and transforming personal data into physical weight, the work materializes the abstract into something tangible. ‘SEA-ME-WE3’ (2024) asks us to reconsider how we perceive the digital world: not as immaterial, but as deeply rooted in matter, energy, and the environment.
