This GIF, titled Year-by-year Map of Internet Submarine Cable Installation, is by Brooklyn denizen Ansh Patel.
Patel describes himself as “an artist whose works range from experimental games, digital media installations, performances, visual art, network + data applications and surveillance interventions.”
Made this #dataviz of Internet submarine cables installed between 1989-present as a gif yesterday for fun https://t.co/gDNyxgd1FB

For a good read on the subject of submarine cables, Patel recommends the article Where the Clouds Rise from the Sea, published in The Atlantic (the magazine, that is). For a good GIF on the subject, well, just look above.
