The symposium offers a unique insight into the concepts of the Day-to-Day Data project through the eyes of five of the artists involved.

Day-to-Day Data brings together a group of twenty artists who take a methodical and scientific approach to questioning the world around them. Through the analysis and representation of the data they collect, they can offer a truly new and often amusing vision of our own daily existence.

This special event at the ICA offers an introduction to this multi-media project, which has been touring the county in 2005 and which is concurrently on show at Danielle Arnaud contemporary art in Lambeth.

Five of the twenty artists involved in Day-to-Day Data will present the ideas and methodologies of their new works for the show, which address a fun and varied array of subjects. These include: the history of words, the movement of fugitive shopping trolleys around the city, the patterns in everyday routine, Nail Salon distribution in Greater London and the news headlines that occur as you eat your evening meal.

The artists will consider the similarities and differences between each of their systems of research and practice and, in turn, aim to present a coherent journey through the greater concepts of Day-to-Day Data.
