Mauerkrankheit is a German word tranlated as wallsickness describing the malaise that accompaniesd living with the Berlin Wall. This project, a collaboration with Nonny de la Peña is a virtual reality installation, set in Second Life, depicting current and historical walls dividing nations.  

It will begin with a section of the proposed border fence dividing Mexico from the U.S. and continue with segments from Gaza Fence, the Melilla Fence (the E.U. funded wall to separate Spanish territories from Morroco), the Berlin Wall, and The Great Wall of China.   The wall, with embedded guest books and video screens, will anchor community dialogue with the aim to unite a divided populace.

The projet was a finalist in USC Annenberg School of Communications Network Culture Project and is currently under construction on Network Culture Sim in Second LIfe.
