Our lives are full of numbers and metrics. The minutes you need to boil an egg, the temperature outside, the hours until the end of the workday, the hourly pay rate of your job, the recommended amount of salt in your daily diet, the number of likes on your latest social media post. Numbers help to make sense of what we think, feel and know. Everything can be measured, once we learn how to count.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> When you count things, you probably feel achievement and success: the number of followers you have on social media, the clicks on your latest post, and the number of steps you have taken this day. But to know what decisions you need to make, good metrics and a clear understanding of what is being measured are needed. If you can&rsquo;t measure it, you can&rsquo;t manage it. Or can you?<br /> <img alt="" height="400" src="/sites/default/files/numbriponevus_naitus_3.jpg" width="600" /><br /> This Number fascination exhibition was part of Me-Mind, a Creative Europe project that aims to measure and visualise the effect of culture. Throughout the process, we&rsquo;ve come up with great questions about what measuring and counting mean, their challenges and the effect they can have on people. The Me-Mind project has sought indicators that would help to understand the socio-economic effect of cultural institutions and companies and to look at the life cycle of data as a whole, from data collection and analysis to visualisation.
