The utopia of a world without borders, where everyone is free to move around, is today increasingly opposed by tighter border controls. Depending on the circumstances, borders can be zones of passage and places of contact, or places of exclusion and conflict. As international conflicts force more and more migrants from their homes, borders and the fate of these migrants raise questions for digital artists.
Digital technology is also proving to be a means of overcoming distances and physical limits, allowing men and women to connect across borders.
