Social Signals
Graphic Design Festival Breda
We use social signals everyday. By ‘liking’ and ‘tweeting’ we use social media to indicate our interests. In 110 flags the Social Signals of Valkenberg Park in Breda are captured as a collaboration between Graphic Design Festival Breda and Trapped in Suburbia. The project explores how the park can be seen as a reflection of society. Information is gathered about the different ways in which Breda’s main park is being used by city dwellers. Vakenberg Park is a main artery of the city as everyone has to pass through it on their way to the central station or city center. In the summer months the park becomes a leisure staple for Breda’s residents. Because the park is so widely used by many different people it is a micro-society. The data we gathered about the park explores how this society functions. Social Signals is made up of 110 flags that give a visual representation of the collected data. The flags are positioned throughout the park and show how important the park is for the city. The flags were also part of the 'I love Breda' exhibition in the Museum Of The Image.
