UK DATA

Essex Uni has a data store -https://www.esds.ac.uk/- which has relevant datasets from social and economic sphere's. We've just downloaded the Acorn types (with CACI's permission) but there is much more to be explored.

This ties in neatly with my PHD area of study, in that I have been making the point that public data can form the material for public artworks, and using these datasets, as part of my studio practice, allows me to be reconstitute the datasets in various ways, underpinning various interactions that might occur.
