The archive contained pre-selected video material produced by artists and filmmakers originating from and in most cases living in one of the countries on the route. The 123 video works were compiled through a research within established networks followed by direct interaction with artistic communities and collaborations with regional institutions, including universities, media-labs and art centres.
National and cultural limitations, given by geographical borderlines and the assumption of different habitat with certain historical influences, produce specific diversities in the visual coding of information.

In a following step the Archive was shown in the taxi as a mobile video installation, during a tour over four months through the cities Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul, Sofia, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Graz and Vienna.
