I’m Georgia I am Italian but I live in
New York
I’m Stephanie I was born in Denver
Colorado but I’ve lived in London for
the past 13 years
we at Hawley met each other in person
tries when in September 2014 we decided
to collaborate on a year-long project to
get to know each other through our data
their data was conceived as a new type
of Correspondence through creating and
sending hand-drawn data postcards across
the ocean to each other
we collected personal data around a
shared topic in order to investigate and
reveal aspects of ourselves in our days
to share with the other person by
Counting and reducing in a way to data
even the most shameful personal
revelations they somehow felt not so
simple anymore their data as we gathered
our weekly data the process was much
more labor-intensive than just thriving
standard metrics through using
technological devices the very first
week of dear data we chose a pretty cold
and impersonal topic how many time do we
check the time in a week we discover
something about the other person’s days
through the pretext of my data
collection why was I checking the time
what was I doing was I bored was i
hungry was i late
I finally realized during our week of
gathering data on the urban wildlife we
saw around us each week isn’t a
scientific comprehensive survey of every
single animal I pass by err every
emotion I felt and so on but a record of
Georgia and I noticing and us marking
our awareness some weeks we notice more
and some weeks we noticed less and
that’s an indication of our
personalities and our lives as well
drawing with data when the drawing is
the final output can be painful it’s
laborious demanding it’s frustrating my
week 24 is a perfect example a week of
doors to give the other person the idea
of the pace of our days too
the internal and external environments
we entered in often during the project
the act of counting became something
that was emotionally charged in week 29
Georgia and I ended up tracking moments
when our partners inspired love or
inspired annoyance this card became like
a love letter to my husband
I like how instead of giving someone
flowers now you can give a dataset once
the visualization was complete each week
we would drop the postcard in our post
box and wait with her fingers crossed we
learned to pay attention to live in the
present much more to be more aware of
our surroundings and of our behaviors
with new lenses finally we both realize
that data is the beginning of the story
not the end and should be seen as a
starting point for questioning and
understanding the world around us
instead of seeing it as the definitive
answer to all of our questions
