Since the industrial revolution the world has become massively more connected. Whilst it once would have taken five or six months for a UK artist and their work to reach China, this can now be achieved in hours, and communication between the two nations can happen instantaneously. Whilst once peoples from opposite sides of the globe may not have even been aware of the existence of the other, today awareness and understanding of other cultures is the norm. The global communications and travel systems that facilitate this also afford cooperation between governments around the world, allowing action to be taken on issues affecting the world on a global scale. However, despite the level of interconnection between nations around the world, the planet is still engulfed in conflict and locked in paralysis over global issues like climate change.

This is a subtitled audio work, accompanied by research photos, which recounts the histories of two very different endeavours to connect the world: submarine communication cables, and the constructed language Esperanto. The stories behind these efforts reveal the hopes, successes, and failures of the people who created and use them.

自工业革命以来，世界的联系变得更加紧密。以前，一个英国艺术家和他们的作品到达中国需要五六个月的时间，现在可以在几个小时内实现，两国之间的交流可以瞬间发生。曾经来自地球两端的人们甚至可能不知道对方的存在，但今天对其他文化的认识和理解已成为常态。促进这一点的全球通信和旅行系统也提供了世界各国政府之间的合作，使得针对全球范围内发生的世界性问题采取行动措施变得可能。然而，尽管世界各国之间的相互联系程度很高，但地球仍然陷入冲突，并因气候变化等全球问题陷入瘫痪。

 [作品名称] 是一部带字幕的音频作品，并附有调研照片，作品讲述了为连接世界的两种截然不同的努力历史：海底通信电缆和构建的世界语。这些努力背后的故事揭示了创造和使用它们的人们的希望、成功和失败。
