Day to Day Data looks at how digital information is embedded in everyday life. Anders Bojen and Kristoffer Ørum investigate the hidden systems, routines, and traces that ordinary objects and personal behaviors generate, from domestic habits to browsing histories and household interactions. The project treats these everyday activities as data sources capable of producing narratives, insights, and imaginative associations.

Through web-based platforms, interactive media, and speculative design, the project transforms mundane moments into complex systems of meaning. Ordinary objects—such as a box of detergent or a web browser—become the basis for fictional universes, playful interfaces, and alternative representations of the data embedded in daily life.

Day to Day Data highlights the poetic, speculative, and sometimes humorous dimensions of personal and domestic data. It questions the implications of surveillance, the accumulation of digital traces, and the way ordinary routines are recorded and interpreted. The project includes works such as Detergent (Real Imaginary System) and Auto Navigate My History, which visualize, manipulate, and creatively reimagine the information generated by ordinary activities.

The project treats everyday objects and routines as sites of discovery and narrative potential, turning personal and mundane experience into shared, speculative material.
