Dear Data – Giorgia Lupi & Stefanie Posavec

Dear Data was a year-long, analog data drawing project by Stefanie Posavec and me.
We got to know each other through our data and analog data drawings sent across the ocean in the form of fifty-two hand-drawn data postcards.

Each week, for a year, we collected and measured a particular type of data about our lives, used this data to make a drawing on a postcard-sized sheet of card stock, and then dropped the postcard in an English “postbox” or an American “mailbox”

Eventually, the postcard arrived at the other person’s address with all the scuff marks of its journey over the ocean: a type of “slow data” transmission.”
