Why is this work relevant for Creative Data?

With moving parliament we developed an algorithm based brand design for the Free Democrats that visualizes the work of the fraction and makes it visible for the outside world.

Background

In 2018 democracy is under pressure: If democratic parties don’t push things forward in Germany the radical parties will. To remind every member of the Free Democratic Fraction to set things in motion, along with Berlin, we developed a dynamic brand design. Goal was to develop an algorithm based brand design for the Free Democrats that visualizes the work of the fraction and makes it visible for the outside world.

Describe the idea/data solution

The idea consists of a swarm of 80 forms, each one standing for a Free Democratic Member of the parliament, charged by their activities. An algorithm tracks every idea that is published online. Whenever new content is released, the swarm gets faster. A tool allows party members to design their individual stationery, business cards, brochures, posters, light installations and info booths. Each, a unique snapshot of the swarm.

Describe the data driven strategy

The new CI is a daily reminder for every member of the Free Democrats fraction to keep busy and things in motion. However, it also reaches consumers and makes it visible that the party aims at realizing ideas that protect democracy.

Describe the creative use of data, or how the data enhanced the creative output

The idea consists of a swarm of 80 forms, each one standing for a Free Democratic Member of the parliament. The shape of the form resembles the percentage of seats the party holds in the parliament. These elements are constantly in motion and controlled by an algorithm. Every conversation on Twitter and appearance in the online news boosts the swarm puts it in motion. Through live data inputs the activity of the party is displayed anytime. The more interaction takes place online the more dynamic and lively the swarm becomes.

List the data driven results

The first data-driven corporate identity is the reminder to each group member of the fraction to bring things forward in Germany. By October, more than 150,000 impulses across the Web are driving the swarm, proving that everyone can do something to protect democracy from their opponents.
