From 2–4 and 9–11 February 2024, the ACR XL exhibition 'Beurstraverse; An ounce of information is worth a pound of data' takes place in two rooms in the Koopgoot in Rotterdam. The exhibition brought together 25 artists, each connected to one gallery, art institute, or artist-run space in Rotterdam. Conceptually, the exhibition built on the systems that come together in the Beurstraverse. While the works in Beurstraverse 154 examined monetary systems, trade and transport systems in various media, the focus of the works in Beurstraverse 111 was on information systems, errors, and access.

Bambi van Balen adapted two works for the exhibition: the installation Mirror barricade, consisting of silver inflatable cubes that divided the space in two like a barrier, and the video work Crowds, which showed a compilation of Tools for Action videos, ending with the Action Signals: SOS Moria, from The Hague, 2020.
