Seeker
Leon Cmielewski, Josephine Starrs (AU)
Award of Distinction Interactive Art
Seeker by Leon Cmielewski and Josephine Starrs focuses on the causal connections among territorial borders, the occurrence of raw materials that are at the center of violent disputes, and flows of migrants. Three screens each feature one of these themes. The first screen is an interactive component that allows users to track their own migration history on a world map. These stories and routes are amassed into currents that are visualized. The second screen collects international news reports of attempts to flee that end in death. The third screen interrelates the occurrence of fought-over raw materials like tantalum, diamonds and crude oil with the streams of migrants and refugees that originate in the same areas. The selection of individual focal-point issues causes the information and visualizations on all three screens to become interlinked.
