The Library

"Dear Data" tells about a project created by Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec around the challenge of data visualization n 2015. A yearlong correspondence drawn by hand on postcards with creative maps of aspect of their daily lives — from  spending habits to use of mirrors.

This graphically powerful book is a celebration of the infinitesimal, yet exquisitely human details of life. Each postcard takes time to design and time to read; it is an intensely human portrait of a person's week that inspires creative ways to represent every kind of data.

Thank you! It was an interesting project. I also enjoyed the slow process behind it, especially compared to how quickly we move from one project to another in recent years 😆

This is so good todemashi. I wasnt aware of this project before but now I need to get a copy of it 😍

I guess you know it, but you can also get your hand on "Observe, Collect, Draw" which allow you to start to learn to do dataviz like they did in their project :-)

Thank you Tim! 🙏 
Well, the images are from their website, I bought the book for the agency's library where I used to work a few years ago, and unfortunately it stayed there 😓 However, I thought it would be nice to share it because I'm a fan of Giorgia Lupi 🙌  Maybe I can re-buy it with your tip 🤔😆

And thanks for taking the time and effort to provide so many well-made imagery 🙏

Yeah, you've captured the meaning very well! It was nice to slowly follow it on their website where they uploaded the postcards. The initial concept was not for a book but after some interest they finally published it.

What a beautiful share, Tode. And what an intense and inspiring art project. Somehow a tradition between artists, writers and scientist in the past (to have an intensive correspondence), but a lost "art" form nowadays (or transitioned into other, more volatile media).
