Digital rendering of imagined use for extant wall on the boundary of Mexico and the United States. On a gridded plane, the wall runs diagonally, lower right to upper left, and three figures are seen from above with mallets, playing the xylophone into which the wall has been transformed. At lower left, in a serif typeface, ‘LINEA DIVISORIA ENTRE MÉXICO Y LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS TRAZABA Y DEMARCADA POR LA COMISIÓN INTERNACIONAL DE LIMITES…’ Beneath, a key to scale. To the right, the seal of Sección Mexicana. On the other side of the wall, the text is translated into English: ‘BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO AS SURVEYED AND MARKED BY THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY COMMISSION...’ Beneath, a key to scale. To the left, the seal of the United States Commissioners, with three signatures below.
