Highlights

Daily ran from 14th to 27th September. Here are some highlights

Day 14 - Saturday 27 September - Evaluation

Here's what people had to say about Daily...

Had people ask us what it was about. We told them that the artist had been in. I noticed it changed every day. It was something interesting to look at

- Office building security guard, Hindmarsh Square

I think it's great to have things that people can enjoy when they stop and take notice of it. Also I'm fond of the low resolution, it's similar to pixel art.

Thought it was a work sign. Haven't taken much notice of it.

- Topham Mall

Interesting, eye catching, noticed they've changed. Liked the traffic one. Wondered whether it was live. Worked out it wasn't.

Something interesting. Somedays patchy, though someone had been playing with it.

And in Topham Mall

All three signs showed the Day in a Life video through the middle of the day. A quaint little cartoon with a hint of sadness. 

Met up with the Adelaide City Council public art team. Thanks for all your help in making Daily a reality.

More than for any other piece of the weekday uniform, putting on a tie is a ritual of the transition from home to work life.  With an open neck shirt, you can be anyone, anywhere, anytime. Put on a tie and bingo, your at work. 

Most people would think crossing a road to be nothing more than a routine. Though that last road you cross before reaching the office is the barrier between your workday world and the other. In the realisation of this, some dawdle across, whilst others scurry. 

Parading along your city's main mall is another great ritual. Passing icons of beauty and commerce, you may be on a quest for a bargain, to fulfil a want or simply to observe the sights and sounds of people milling in all directions. 

And deep in the heart of the city mall lies the food court. The place where we flock to talk, eat and dispose of our used packaging. The video of the food court is taken looking down on a basement level. It is full of colour from the bright retail lights, with ghost like people moving to, from and around the tables. 

Arguably the main ritual of people's daily life is the endless scrolling of the 3 or 4g-enabled phone. Scrolling up and down across emails, web pages, Facebook pages (mainly Facebook pages) and the like. Always on a quest to find something, whether one needs it or not.  

To balance, the cyber-scroll, I finished the day in Topham Mall today with a friendly human wave. Well, as human as a 48x28 pixel six colour roadsign can be. A simple gesture like a wave is a ritual we follow, often without knowing it.
