I found some pieces on the internet is called "Border Device(s)" and is produced by "Multiplicity." I am unsure if this is an artist or if it is a group of artists, but I have found some of the piece very interesting. The first one I found is a map of Palestine/Israel. The denotation of the work is simply a map of this troubled land, displaying the check points of Palestinian travelers versus the check points of Israeli travelers. The connotation of this is the struggle and different treatment of Palestinian people compared to that of the Israeli people. The Palestinians are constantly being stopped while the Israelis pass right through in their travels. It is really a political statement about how poorly Palestinians are treated.

Another piece from this artist I like by this artist is called "use." This stands for uncertain states of Europe. The denotation of this piece is purely a map, of European cities and lines, like airplane routes connecting them. The connotation however is that Europe is an extremely connected continent. The message is that in Europe although each country may have its own cultures, they are not as separate as other countries that are on the same continent. Europe is more unified then other continents.
