Over the fifty-two weeks, the collecting of data about our lives became a kind of ritual. We would spend the week noticing and noting down our activities or thoughts, before translating this information into a hand-drawn visualization.

On the front of the postcard there would be a unique representation of our weekly data, and, on the other side (in addition to the necessary postage and address), we would squeeze in detailed keys to our drawings: the code to enable the recipient to decipher the picture, and to fantasize about what had happened to her new friend the week before.

We prefer to approach data in a slower, more analogue way. We've always conceived Dear Data as a "personal documentary" rather than a quantified-self project which is a subtle - but important - distinction. Instead of using data just to become more efficient, we argue we can use data to become more humane and to connect with ourselves and others at a deeper level.

Adobe Photoshop Express is an app for photo editing and collage making with many features tuned to social media sharing.

In the classroom: For students who want to incorporate photography into their work, this app is such an excellent resource for home use or classroom editing if Adobe Photoshop is not accessible.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Adobe Photoshop Express is an app for photo editing and collage making with many features tuned to social media sharing. It's loaded with features, including standards like Instagram-like filters and effects, blemish and red-eye removers, color/brightness/exposure adjustments, borders, text overlays, and collage templates. Tools are arranged along the top and bottom of the screen; each has a handy slider to adjust the desired effect. Students won't get locked into edits; they can undo every action in order until they return to the original image. They can also quickly glance at the original image anytime to compare. Sharing features abound, with opt-in sharing across popular social media networks. Students and teachers can email creations directly from the app or save to the device's camera roll. No cutesy stickers, GIFs, or emoji options, however, so it's more for collage making purists.

Standout features include Text Styles (great for social media images), Perspective Correction, and My Looks (the ability to save custom adjustments for future use). As with any Adobe Creative Cloud product, PS Express projects are fully compatible with any other Adobe product.

Executive director and chief curator Tina Kukielski delivers a dispatch of Art21's latest on-goings.

Art21 provides unparalleled access to the artist's voice﻿-

"That's what my work is about...seeing the facets of happiness and sadness all in one place."

"The most toxic combination in the world is...the certainty of being right and a monopoly of power."

"The most important part is the process. It is the actual living and doing and making."

"Art isn't a material, it's not a medium-it's not a certain product. It is the choices I've been able to make."

"Drawing is like practicing the piano, because the first ones that I do often don't come out so I have to practice."

"Beauty is just kind of an accident. Beauty is just a happenstance. Beauty is the remainders of being a painter."

"The studio is a sacred place that you come to do some bigger reflection and thinking."

We do all of this with your support.
