Giogia Lupi et Stefanie Posavec [...] – qui aiment bien dessiner – ont décidé de s’envoyer une carte postale avec une datavisualisation chaque semaine [PDF de présentation] :

« Dear Data est une tentative pour montrer que les “data” ne doivent pas faire peur, ne sont pas forcement “big”, mais qu’elles sont présentes dans la vie de tous et qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de connaître grand-chose pour les représenter (seulement un crayon, un carnet et une carte postale !). »

We live, they say, in the age of Big Data — algorithms trawl through vast databases of our digital trails seeking to extract insight on the human experience, from how we fall in love to what we read. But aggregating individual human lives into massive data sets and trying to extrapolate insight from the aggregate data that is valid for individual human lives is somewhat like taking an exquisite poem in English and running it through Google Translate to render into Japanese and then back into English. The result may have the vague contours of the original poem’s meaning, but none of its subtle magic and vibrant granular beauty.

But what if we could claim that beautiful granular humanity back from the homogenizing aggregate-grip of Big Data? That’s precisely what Giorgia Lupi, an Italian woman living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American woman living in London, are doing in Dear Data — an extraordinary yearlong correspondence project that puts an imaginative twist on what Virginia Woolf termed “the humane art” through a series of analog self-portraits in data, drawn by hand and mailed on postcards.

When envisaging a typical data visualiser at work, you’d probably conjure up images of a person slaving over rows of numbers and wrangling spreadsheets. But Denver-born and London-based data designer Stefanie Posavec is of a different breed. Rather than simply turning a set of numbers into an information graphic, she finds data in things we wouldn’t normally associate with this type of information.

She calls this ‘ #hidden_data ’
