200 feet of student murals under MIT

The Borderline Mural Project, MIT

MIT's tunnel system runs under the whole campus, and in the 2017 spring semester the Borderline Mural Project turned 200 feet of it into a student painted gallery. Any MIT student could submit a mural, and each finished wall hides an animation that only appears through a phone, so the tunnels reward a second look. The film follows students who had not painted since high school, including a mechanical engineer doing her first visual work.

Outcome: A 200 foot stretch of the MIT tunnels covered in student murals, each with a hidden AR animation.
