The word "pen pal" probably only exists in the distant memory of the student days, and later on , is a warm clay animation "Mary and Max". Today, pen pals, like aging record stores and newspaper delivery boys, are endangered.
But that’s not entirely true.
Giorgia and Stefanie are a special pair of pen pals who send each other postcards. . One of them is an Italian living in New York, and the other is an American living in London. Although they have only met twice, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, they have agreed to share their lives with each other by mailing postcards.
However, what they mailed is not an ordinary postcard.
Each postcard records a special story, and the other party must "decode" it to understand the meaning.
This is a rare pair of data-savvy besties. Both are designers and like to study code and draw. After meeting at an art festival, the two hit it off and came up with an idea: [Create different codes every week to write postcards to each other! 】
The process of writing postcards is probably like this:
They will set a special theme every week, which can be any small thing in life, such as what colors of clothes have been added to the wardrobe recently, how many times have they complained this week, how many times have they laughed at others this week... …
Data collection starts on Monday and ends on Sunday evening.
Then spend the next week analyzing the data, creating codes (the codes can be a variety of graphics, with different colors), and finally draw them all on a small postcard , the code is drawn on the front, and the decoding tutorial is on the back.
Also start collecting new data during the week of painting, so that you can ensure that new postcards are sent out every Monday.
They call this project Dear Data, dear data.
Let us follow the communication between Giorgia and Stefanie and appreciate the beauty of data postcards.< br />
