RP18: new criteria
Defined new criteria for measuring the threshold between US and Mexico. Here you see different representations of the same information (the threshold). I putted these visuals again on the geographical borderline.
Further zoom in will start with the criterium ‘migration’. Zoom into the line, zoom into the black, zoom into the pixels – showing the migration [...]

No place – Like home
Perspectives on migration in Europe – Exhibition at Argos, BXL. 15.04.08 – 21.06.08
The work ‘Border’ by Hans Op de Beeck got my full attention. A group of people (I think from arabic origin) are sitting very closely packed together and they’re having quiet conversations (about the small space, the oxygen, what they would like to [...]

RP17: the golden shield
A different type of border: (technological borders)
The Golden Shield, which is the great firewall of China. It’s use is to purify the internet and block content.
It consists of hundreds of individual fortifications spread out along a vulnerable frontier. There are 162 million internet users which have to go through this shield. The shield checks all [...]

Part of my visual study, 3 borders with different dynamics:
1. Belgium/ The Netherlands
2. United States/ Mexico
3. Serbia/ Kosovo
Each representation is build out of the same criteria, the thinner the line (threshold) the smaller the difference between two countries. The bigger the bubbles the bigger the threshold. Colour choice is not yet of any importance here.
An [...]

RP 15: defining project levels
Levels:
-Defining the thresholds (religion, BNP, …) of two countries and visualizing them in different layers
-Defining one threshold out of all the thresholds = one border threshold
-Applying rules on the outcomes (if criteria 1 of country A is bigger than country B, then the shape will change; above a certain value a border is shaped; etc) [...]

If a border is not more than a thin line on a map and doesn’t have a visual appaerance (for instance Belgium and The Netherlands), how do we notice that we are crossing a border? When there are no fences, walls, control/ security stops that visually divide two territories. How can we define this border?
What [...]

A summary of some characteristics, on or close, to the border US – Mexico.
Analyzing the available data with a flow over several years – connecting different parameters and their effects on each other – finding new patterns in the data.

As written by Tara Lemmey in Obstacles, or On the Edge? (research 11), the level of complexity achieved by living organisms and societies depends critically on the establishment of borders.
All living systems, from individual cells to biological communities, are complex self-organizing economies.
Zoom in and out:
-Cells: from individual cells (one cell) to plural cells, they exist [...]
