SimBorder
2016

SimBorder is an algorithmic exploration of the complex system surrounding the issues of immigration and refugees at an international level. The programme generates a group of neighbouring countries, each of them with its own panel of public policies directly connected to the entry of refugees. As a simulation, SimBorder is not objective; like any system, it expresses the will of its author.
