Proiectul a avut ca scop reconstruirea temporară şi suprapunerea<br />
graniţelor ghetoului din Varşovia pe harta actuală a oraşului. Pentru<br />
a delimita graniţele ghetoului au fost folosite telefoanele mobile.<br />
Atunci când un participant la proiect traversa graniţele fostului ghetou,<br />
el trebuia să primească o mulţime de sms-uri (anunţându-l că<br />
se află în centrul Varşoviei, amplasamentul fostului ghetou).<br />
Proiectul „Ashaver220” s-a folosit de acest context pentru a pune<br />
în evidenţă formele curente de „întemniţare” tehnologică. El<br />
construieşte o reţea virtuală între utilizatorii săi, reamintindu-ne ca<br />
că suntem controlaţi şi supuşi tehnologiei. „Ashaver220” creează, în<br />
acelaşi timp, un memorial virtual al oraşului Varşovia.<br />

The project was an attempt to temporarily rebuild and separate<br />
the borders of the ghetto and overlap them on the map of contemporary<br />
Warsaw. Mobile phones were used to trace the ghetto<br />
borders. When the participant in the project crossed the former<br />
ghetto walls he would be “sieged” by short messages (letting him<br />
know he was in the centre of Warsaw, site of the former ghetto).<br />
“Ashaver220” used this context in order to emphasize the forms<br />
of contemporary technological “imprisonment”. It builds a virtual<br />
network of users, drawing their attention to the fact that we are<br />
controlled and subjected to technology. “Ashaver220” also builds<br />
a virtual memorial of the city of Warsaw.<br />
