El Muro Digital

Author: Rubria Rocha de Luna

Year: 2025

Medium: Electronic Literature / Digital Art 

Description

El Muro Digital is a choice-driven electronic literature piece following two siblings on a fraught journey to the U.S. border during a family medical emergency. It explores the agonizing decisions shaped by systemic barriers, family separation, and the invisible borders of the migrant experience. 

Artistic Statement

El Muro Digital explores how bureaucratic systems and technological divides act as insurmountable barriers for separated families. The interactive narrative places the reader within the agonizing constraints of a cross-border medical emergency, exposing the invisible walls of language, resources, and distance that fracture relationships and deny the basic right to say goodbye.
