I have long been fascinated by the field of data art, drawing inspiration from the works of amazing Shirley Wu, Federica Fragapane, Giorgia Lupi, and Nadieh Bremer!
Specifically, Giorgia Lupi and her wonderful collaborative project with Stefanie Posavec, Dear Data, had the most significant influence on this project. This magical book comprises a year-long correspondence between two designers who collected data about themselves on a particular theme each week and sent each other postcards featuring data art on that theme. The data art was hand-drawn on these postcards using pencils, liners, and markers.
I have other data art projects executed in traditional techniques, but this one is one of the early ones (2020) and addresses a very important topic for me - Friendship.
