Diatom Radio Network

This piece imagines an underwater infrastructural ecology beyond the user-device binary of the early 21st century. Algae, humans, e-waste material, and surrounding species have evolved to learn a shared medium of communication. They mutually power, use, and embody the network-habitat. Information flows across an Indra’s net of neurotransmitter-like sites, a mechanism which depends on and gradually deepens the connectivity of all participating organisms.
