The Transatlantic Visions installation is based on a computer program specifically designed to explore the topography of the Internet's undersea infrastructure, its connectivity with terrestrial space, and its visualization process in the exhibition space.

The resulting visualizations are generated by interpretation of the data from undersea cables, according to Telegeography's Submarine Cable Map. These are presented in dialogue with satellite views of their landing sites along the coastline, as well as sediment samples directly extracted from seabed cores drilled, among others, by the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) in the Atlantic. They are displayed across a screen ecosystem showing microscopic observations, as well revealing fragments of technological residues.

The paths of the cables become a framework for investigating our relationship with hyperconnectivity and the terrestrial environment, intertwined with seabed microfossils, considered in marine sciences as essential bio-indicators for reconstructing ancient climates.

Since 2022, Juliette Lusven has been collaborating with the Institute of Marine Sciences of Rimouski (ISMER). In this context, she participated in an oceanographic mission in the maritime estuary of Saint Lawrence, where she developed a series of submarines videos, one of which is presented in the exhibition.

Entitled Sonder le monde, the current version of this computer program is based on around twenty transatlantic cables, including:

 

And specimens of microfossils:

- Foraminifera

- Fiber optics

- Ostracode

- Dinocyst

- Copper

- Tintinnid

- Radiolaria

- Rubber

- Diatoms

- Cocolithophores
