Screen print (60x40cm) and Augmented Reality app

 

Developing the concept of the ‘smart fence’ in a different direction, a smartphone app augments a screen print of a razor wire fragment that was part of the material stolen from the Hungarian border fence. A digital close-up view of the wire’s rusty patches and sharp edges offers a starting point for reflection on the very low-tech violence that is implied by this material aspect of the European Union’s outer borders.

​

The AR app was developed in collaboration with the AURORA project at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin with support from the European Union.
