A two-day conversational* conference on interdisciplinary collaboration in
data visualisation.
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 and cosmological data and simulations (such as solar wind,
cosmic radiation, planetary motions, large scale structures, N-body
simulations, gravitational waves)
- ‘Displays’ 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.
