Ansible takes the roll-out of the 5G infrastructure across the planet as a starting point to explore the disconnect between the speed of telecommunications infrastructure and the human act of communication itself. The work explores these themes not only within the finished piece itself, but also in the process of creation: through a script improvised over the course of several months via voice messages left on each others’ phones in each artist’s native language.
