This is one day, any day and every day. The notations have been arranged to fit within a standard broadsheet newspaper format, a publication associated with daily record.
1 line = 1 second
1 column = 2.5 minutes
1 page = 1 hour
ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time-related data. It is maintained by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and was first published in 1988, with updates in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2019, and an amendment in 2022. The standard provides a well-defined, unambiguous method of representing calendar dates and times in worldwide communications, especially to avoid misinterpreting numeric dates and times when such data is transferred between countries with different conventions for writing numeric dates and times.
Guy Bigland works with photography, text, books, print, digital media and painting to examine the mechanics of meaning, language and systems of order. His work is held in public and private collections in the UK (including Tate, V&A and the National Poetry Library), Europe and the USA.
