Duration: 6 weeks, 4 days
Data Collected: The data collecting period coincided exactly with the duration of the final leg of the Day-to-Day Data exhibition at Danielle Arnaud contemporary art. As a less intensive and more refined version of the Daily Data Display Wall, I designed a new Daily Data Log Sheet Lite, on which to record only 10 elements of data about my life each day including: my age in days, no. steps walked, outside temperature, no. cups of tea drunk, time spent sleeping, no. arguments, time spent on computer, no. people spoken to, whether hungover and no. good ideas.
Objectives: The display in the gallery was set up to be a visual experiment, testing the correlation between 5 different data pairs. Whether my age would have any effect on the no. steps I walked or whether the time I spent asleep would have any effect on the no. arguments I had etc.
Outcomes: Every morning for the duration of the exhibition I compiled an instruction sheet based on the data collected the previous day and emailed it to the gallery. They used the data to reconfigure the 10 different items on display. Other than this, I never really studied the data in any depth and I have not reached any conclusions as to whether there was a correlation between the different activities monitored..
