Veins of Strain
2024 interactive installation
Cycling offers numerous benefits: it is environmentally sustainable, enhances public health, and helps reduce traffic congestion. Yet, the reality of cycling conditions in Prague is far from ideal.
Veins of Strain utilizes data from AutoMat’s survey to identify critical areas of concern within Prague’s cycling network. As viewers pedal a stationary bike, the map visualises the cycling routes identified by survey respondents as needing improvement. By transforming data into an interactive experience, Veins of Strain aims to highlight essential improvements in Prague’s cycling infrastructure.
