Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere."

..".a remarkable visual snapshot of the lives of two bright women corresponding with each other in innovative ways and will appeal to designers and best friends alike...With each pair of postcards presented side by side, readers immediately experience Lupi and Posavec's different styles and sensibilities and witness how they influence and complement each other over the course of this year." - Publishers Weekly

"Lupi and Posavec's approach teaches mental and emotional attentiveness. Their examples inspire you to think creatively about your personal habits, and to approach them with a slowness that lets you reflect on their meaning." - Quartz

"Experiencing the project anew, in this beautiful analog form, only amplifies its deeply humane ethos of reclaiming the living texture of "data" in our everyday lives from the word's unfeeling, algorithmic, non-human connotations." - Brain Pickings

"Dear Data is a revelation of the human face of data." - Quartz

网友对Dear Data的评论

I heard about "Dear Data" on the Science Friday Podcast. The idea of collecting data, casually doodling, and sharing information really fit what I was doing with project journaling and how I connect with several of my colleagues. I also advocate for STEAM/STEM education; including for lifelong learners. This book is a perfect fit. The beautiful and generously sized flexibound book is excellent because of the unique blend of text, imagery, and data. The content has room to breathe on the pages. The whole book is made of nice quality paper with a soft finish that is easy on the eyes.

"Dear Data" provides great inspiration for conversation and I have already agreed to track some data of interest with several friends.

Love it, my dataviz-geek friend that I bought a copy for loves it even more. Thanks, NPR, for interviewing the authors and clue-ing me in to this gem.

Wow! I got to see this before the book was published in Milan, Italy during Design week. So glad to be able to have the book to go through at my leisure. Filled with beautiful ways of seeing their thoughts and feelings.
