Everybody seems to complain that art, design, research and practice in information visualization should be talking more to each other.
Well, here is a unique opportunity: Andrew Vande Moere and I will soon be hosting a special symposium, co-located with the IEEE IV010 conference in London. We call it: DAVis, the 5th International Symposium on Design and Aesthetics in Visualisation.
From the (brand-new) call:“This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of design, art and related disciplines. The goal is to share their stories and experiences on how the needs and goals of both users and businesses are met through information visualisation.
It supports the publication of research in two general domains: Design and Aesthetics. Design refers to the development of visualisation as a creative design process. Aesthetics refers to the role of user experience in visualisation, as understood in three distinct components: aesthetic experience, experience of meaning, and emotional experience.
This symposium presents an opportunity to explore these issues and their consequences for the field of information visualization. In particular, we encourage the submission of design critiques; case studies, possibly with accompanying evaluation studies or critical reflections; position papers; or reports on the impact that visualization research or visualization use has had on the work and life of people. In this context, the story of failures or abandoned approaches can be as informative as descriptions of success. The fields of application are open, and can reach from traditional screen-based graphs, over innovative multi-touch interfaces, to dynamic media architecture displays.”
So – designers, coders, artists, visualizers – go forth and write your way in. Note that all papers will be reviewed before acceptance can be given.
Beware: the deadline is quite tight: March 1. But honestly, you would not have started earlier, anyways – right? Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, and we are really looking forward to your submissions.

Thursday, January 28th
7PM – 9PM
ARTISTS:
Alphonzo Solorzano:
Recent mixed media works and wall installation titled The Future was Now uses iconography from early 1900′s auto ads. Vintage images, typoghrapghy, and slogans are used to create an alternate history to explore and challenge our interpretation of time and progress.
Daniel Massey:
Light Speak is an installation that transmits images through the medium of light. Images are captured outside throughout the day, and relayed as morse code pulses through a series of distributed models. Pixel by pixel, the images are reconstructed.
Gabriel Dunne:
Created with custom displays and original software, Gabriel’s works explore micro and macro systems of nature, technology, and perception.
Miles Stemper:
Miles uses the digitization of brushstrokes to create a series of abstracted icon paintings. Geometry forms the structure of these works because it is dictated by the same criteria of function communication as technology: geometry is efficiency of form, an articulate representation of space
Ryan Alexander:
Ryan’s work is a combination of ideas and systems created in the last two years. Laser fabrication and projection mapping are used to create a glowing gourd.
