Whatever Happened, Happened at LIFELOGGING

A 'Lab in the Gallery' exploring new ways to track everything from heartbeats to heartbreak. Running from 13th February to 16th April 2015. WHATEVER HAPPENED, HAPPENED – DANIEL PALACIOUS (ES) The installation slowly burns concentric rings on the surface of a piece of virgin wood using a laser. Like a tree leaning in the direction of the sun, these rings expand following the flow of visitors. This produces a subjective, but legible, graphic of what happens in the vicinity of the installation, which merges the influence of your presence at the time of your visit with the vision of the rings generated prior to your arrival.nConstantly analysing its environment, this installation uses real-time data to produce a graphic that will only be completed when the exhibition ends. This graphic is the only trace left of what happened there: more than a visualisation of data, it becomes the data itself. ABOUT LIFELOGGING This free exhibition features exhibits and labs looking at data, people and the impulses connecting them. Drop by to view the installations and talk to the residents or book your place to take part in the weekly workshops. From critical to creative, LIFELOGGING asks ‘where do we go from here’ and question whether we can record and analyse happiness, beauty and aesthetics the same way we record footsteps and heartbeats. The exhibition explores novel methods for capturing data, for visualising, and for analysing the insights that new data affords us about ourselves and society.
