From Simon Biggs via the PIRATE elist:
Call For Papers: Making visible the invisible: Data Visualisation in
Art, Design and Science Collaborations (March 2011, UK).
http://www.hohlwelt.com/en/conferences/visible/cfp.html
A two-day conversational* conference on interdisciplinary collaboration
in data visualisation. March 10th-11th 2011, Huddersfield, UK
In recent years numerous visualisations involving scientific data and
scientific themes have emerged from interdisciplinary collaborations
between artists, scientists and designers. Works reach across diverse
media, ranging from applied screen-based applications to experimental
physical installations. While some are intended to inform by making the
complex and abstract clear and visual, others focus on the aesthetic
quality of the experience. What many of the works have in common is
being the outcome of collaboration across disciplines.
This event seeks not only to contribute to the debate around data
visualisation but also to a better understanding of what makes
interdisciplinary collaborations successful. We wish to provide a
platform for open dialogue and discussion across disciplinary cultures
and seek a better understanding of the critical requirements for
interdisciplinary collaboration. We ask what are the most fruitful
conditions for interdisciplinary collaboration? How can
trans-disciplinary understanding be best facilitated?
We are seeking contributions that advance the state of data
visualisation through interdisciplinary collaborations. In particular
approaches which include:
- Sensual, aesthetic, poetic and conceptual approaches
- The role of inter-, trans-, or meta-disciplinary collaboration
- Methods, case studies or frameworks that facilitate dialogue and
exchange across disciplines
- Themes around sustainability, ecological literacy or climate change
- Physical installations that transcend screen-based modalities
- Sonic visualisation and sonification
- Interactive and immersive visualisation,
- Affective visualisation (real time representation of affective data)
- Aesthetic and semantic investigation of data sets
- Novel interfaces for navigation of data
- Human statistical data (such as bio-signal, biological, birth-rates,
energy consumption)
- Astrophysical data (such as solar wind, cosmic radiation, planetary
motions)
- ODisplays’ that make use of natural forces such as light, water, fog,
wind etc. as outputs
- Pollution and environmental data (weather, gravity, volcanoes,
earthquakes)
- Live data (local and remote)
- Neuro-plastic applications
- Open APIs, open platforms, open formats, open hardware
Other relevant works concerning the processes of interdisciplinary
exchange and scientific data visualisation not directly included in the
above categories are also welcome for submission.
A subtext to the event is works impact in the light of the debates
around climate change, ecological literacy and sustainability.
