ZÓNA: A STRANGE PLACE OF MINE

_status:
A prototype has been developed during
the 'A Strange Place of Mine' workshop
conducted by David Skopec and Irene
Stutz at the Silesian Castle for Art
and Enterprise in Cieszyn.

_about:
ZÓNA is a workshop project dealing with
a process of wayfinding. It's graphic form is a representation of this sophisticated
experience.
Appart from this, ZÓNA is a card game.

It is a combination of Tešín panorama,
infographics and domino game. ZÓNA
reflects our walk through the old town
of Český Tešín that we made in spring
2009 according to non-geographical
guidelines made by workshop collegues.

During the walk we took photographs
of town panorama and collected data:
heartbeat rate and number of steps
per minute which have been respectively
reflected in: the size of the red typeface
and the size of the black typeface.

Team-design with Agnieszka Mazur,
Justyna Marczewska and Joanna Sowula.
2009
