Patel describes himself as “an artist whose works range from experimental games, digital media installations, performances, visual art, network + data applications and surveillance interventions.”

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.
