Dear 2021...

 It seems (according to Spotify, Facebook and other platforms ) that its time to look back on the year . I came across this beautiful project where 2 friends exchanged weekly postcards across the Atlantic which visualised their weeks in data.

"Each week, and for a year, we collected and measured a particular type of data about our lives, used this data to make a drawing on a postcard-sized sheet of paper, and then dropped the postcard in an English “postbox” (Stefanie) or an American “mailbox” (Giorgia)!

Eventually, the postcard arrived at the other person’s address with all the scuff marks of its journey over the ocean: a type of “slow data” transmission."
