German artist Jurgen Mayer H. (born 1965) collects the printed patterns used by banks to encrypt passcodes and PIN numbers in letters to customers. Having traced the practice of personal data protection back to 1913, he uses these preprints as the basis for buildings, drawings, sculptures and design objects. Wirrwarr features 100 patterns from the Mayer H.'s extensive collection.
