Watch 25 years of the world getting way more connected.
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.”

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.
