| DESIGN NAME: Radio Zablocie PRIMARY FUNCTION: District Identity; Mural and Website INSPIRATION: Industrial heritage of the district Zablocie in Krakow, Poland, in which in a communist era in Poland very popular radios called "Unitra" were produced for many years. Nowadays the district is changing into very modern city and old historical and the industrial heritage is disappearing. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Website 'Attuned to Zablocie' & mural 'Radiomural OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The mural will be visible at night for some time, like an old radio switched on with its greenish light, thanks to the photoluminescence paint glowing in darkness. People can illuminate the mural with flashlights. The recordings from the website about Zablocie's heritage will be made available to visitors on the wall of Radiomural. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 2016–2018 in Krakow, Zablocie district (in progress) Radiomural is going to be painted in May 2018. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Mural with photoluminescent paint that glows in the dark. Letters with names of cities or districts on a radio panel are covered with photoluminescence paint, that glows in a darkness - like a vintage radio that is turned on. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Mural – width: 30 m x height: 6 m TAGS: radio, heritage, zablocie, industrial, cultural district, krakow, mural RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Instead of typical radio frequencies on the radio desktop there are thematic categories such as: Zablocie history, art, spots, murals and infos about Zablocie district. Each category contains several objects placed on the horizontal green boxes arranged on the appropriate radio frequency. To make page more similar to old radio I used radio noise / tuning effects. After pressing or moving the vertical red line on the selected object, the audition begins broadcasting. The interviews were carried out with 30 persons associated with Zabłocie. Each such element is an authentic story, a source of knowledge and history in a nutshell on the topic, e.g.: in a history category there are broadcasts and other documentation about some signifcant for Krakow and Zablocie historical places like: Telpod, Ziarno Mill, Oskar Schindler’s Factory, Miraculum Factory, Old Salt Storehouse or Wawel Chocolate Factory. CHALLENGE: MURAL: photoluminescence and research in cultural and postindustrial districts similar to Zablocie; RADIO: radio project management: audio-recordings (interviews, editing of recordings, historical research about Zablocie heritage, collecting the old photos, making new photo documentation, translation, website development).
