50% of the artist revenue from this project goes to the European network of migrant women & the international Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), supporting refugees.
Border Birds is a series of photographs of birds, automatically captured while crossing a border. This was achieved by creating software that detects birds on footage captured by open surveillance cameras placed at boundary lines. The software used artificial intelligence running on a 24/7 server between the dates of March 10th and April 10th, 2022. The server captured more than 3,474 birds through multiple cameras around the world. Later, a curated selection of 100 Border Birds was made.
The artists monitored different cameras at the borders of United States/Mexico, Morocco/Spain, Greece/Turkey, France/United Kingdom and Morocco/United Kingdom.
