The installation Connecting the Dots consists of two hundred and seventy-nine connecting the-dots-drawings representing transcontinental submarine cables, the infrastructure that carries ninety-nine percent of intercontinental Internet traffic. The drawings were made by children aged between four and six, individuals still lacking the conceptual framework to grasp the significance of what they were drawing.
Whereas psychologists use these drawings to study children’s cognitive development, in Connecting the Dots they aim to show how the presence and use of the Internet will influence this development. A captivating reflection on how this young generation, for whom the Internet will be as familiar as tap water, perceives, and shapes the digital world around them.
