Day-to-Day Data
Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham
The exhibition brings together a group of artists who take a methodical and scientific approach to questioning the world around them, and, through the analysis and representation of data they collect, give a truly new and often amusing vision of our own daily existence. Much of the work in the show requires interaction from the audience.

A new exhibition at Angel Row Gallery will be counting, measuring and monitoring visitors to the gallery this summer. Day-to-Day Data brings together a group of artists who take a methodical and scientific approach to questioning the world around them, and, through the analysis and representation of data they collect, give a truly new and often amusing vision of our own daily existence.
Much of the work in the show requires interaction from the audience; Lucy Kimbell will carry out a live survey on the people of Nottingham, by asking visitors to the exhibition to respond to a question by removing and keeping different coloured sweets from the six large Perspex cylinders which form her physical bar chart. Hannah Brown’s Daily Efficiency and Behavioural Analysis, Self-evaluation Checklists take a more personal approach, testing if visitors can match up to her vision of a perfect day!
Visitors will be able to monitor their responses to Nottingham city centre by using Christian Nold’s Bio Mapping device. By combining GPS and lie detector technology the Bio Mapping device simultaneously measures fluctuating levels of stress and excitement together with geographic position, as you walk round the streets of Nottingham. On returning to the gallery, visitors can upload the data collected onto a computer to create individual Bio Maps, showing what aspects of the city stimulated you, or made you stressed.
Other works in the show include Helen Frosi’s Life/Lotto, By studying hidden ciphers from her everyday life, such as the dregs of her coffee, Frosi will be endeavouring to come up with those lucky winning numbers each week. Ellie Harrison will carry out a daily data feed to the gallery, presenting personal data collected the previous day on a constantly evolving display wall, and Abigail Reynolds will create an installation made from domestic furniture, generated from her research into the history of the English word ‘table’.
Angel Row Gallery is inviting people to come along to the launch event for the exhibition (Wed 20th July 6-8pm) and be counted by artist Sam Curtis. The event marks the beginning of Curtis’s attempt to single-handedly count all the people in the UK!
