Dear Data | Giorgia Lupi and Special Guest | Design and Style Series Event

Giorgia Lupi gives a visual presentation on a yearlong collaborative exchange with Stefanie Posavec that is featured in the new book Dear Data. Following the presentation, Giorgia is joined by a special guest for a discussion delving further into the project and its impact on Giorgia’s and Stefanie’s personal and professional lives.

Providing insight into the project and their approach to data visualization, Dear Data explores what can be learned from data derived from our everyday lives.  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 who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book.

For one year, Girogia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American lilving  in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards which they exchanged via mail weekly. Small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, Dear Data reproduces in detail the full year’s set of cards (fronts and backs) providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—such as their of complaints, distractions, phone addiction, physical contact, and desires—that illuminate the lives of two remarkable women, and inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions of data to draw and how.
