DATA converted to MOVEMENT

The project aims to use data and translate it into artistic and dance language, using movement qualities, symbols and narratives. In this article, I will focus on what data I work with and how data can be transformed.

Present identity: The current appearance of the place and its identity formulate the attendance of the site and form a social consciousness. IPR Prague hereby evaluates and created a so-called heat map, in which the answers of participants who participate in public participation programs are marked. It evaluates individual locations and describes the personal notion, opinion and feeling of the place. These data serve as a probe into the social and cultural use of Rohan Island. The current situation is also shaped by new construction and the planned Rohan City project, which arouses great interest and divisive emotions. Present identity intertwines with the future face of the place, we stand at a crossroads where we can see partly built-up area and partly wild and deserted site, it forms a special dynamic of the place, which creates a specific character of temporality, incompleteness and transformation. I would like to capture this quality by examining the views of citizens of the locality and expressing it in a movement dictionary.

Data: https://vyzkumy.urad.online/atable/9603f3dd4105feec545feb8771f06ebc/

From data I made an audio and then worked on movement material at the public spaces based on individual comments and feelings.

Notion

Emotion & Movement

Danube house:

Too narrow a cycle path, fast and ruthless cyclists, often unpleasant for pedestrians.

Annoyed, fed up, walking slowly.

Nile house - bridge

Complete maze with a depressing and crazy atmosphere, the bridge does not work and cross the road is a horror, there is no connection from the coast to Karlín without danger, a very poorly captured place.

Sekyra group complex

Development gives the impression that one cannot get into the complex at all.

Rohanské nábřeží street

Cars instead of river.

Port 18600

The Přístav 18600 company and its surroundings are a paradise for the homeless and drug addicts. Despite the fact that the "company" is full of special life-threatening buildings (a kind of iron pipe), caravan, canoeing in a tree, building materials and you can clearly see the blankets of the homeless people in the area, that is awesome way to get to the ferry.

Danube house

I don't feel good where architecture has an inhuman scale. Compare the old Karlín, which is a perfect example of the human scale that Jan Gehl would probably praise. But here, large barracks next to the highway – totally inhuman scale. Whoever allowed or proposed this in the 21st century should return the diploma.

Port 18600

This area clearly causes discomfort and a reduced sense of security. Drunk and roaring people make mess!

Ferry

Access to the ferry - terrible, untidy, clutter, shards, needles.

Concrete company

The movement of cars has increased enormously here. Dirt and dust, the concrete factory does not belong in the city center!

Cycling path

At night there is practically nothing to see on the way from the port to the undeveloped area.

Homeless settlement

I would probably be afraid to go there myself because of the tents with the homeless.

Certain places, especially in densely overgrown bushes, are homeless and annoy citizens by begging, drinking alcohol, etc.

Homeless housing estates - fear of assault or contact with drug addicts, fear of a dog (eg what can eat there), open public toilets ...

Golf

I'm afraid a golf ball hits me. These golfers are dangerous.

Libeň Bridge

In general, the immediate surroundings of the Libeň Bridge seem very gloomy to me, which will, however, also be due to the fact that a large number of homeless people move here.

Area around Libeň Bridge

It is difficult for me to orientate there, and the surroundings are usually deserted, even on the bridge itself it is not very pleasant for pedestrians (traffic, desertion)

Voctářova collection yard

Homeless and drug addicted people. It's just dark and dull. It needs some solution. The fact that the city will move people to one spot will not solve it. It takes humane action and solutions.
