Information Visualization in the (Digital) Humanities
The Centre for Information Modelling in cooperation with the Department of Translation Studies at the University of Graz organizes a workshop to discuss this relation between researchers and the objects they visualize based on real use cases. Starting from an increased awareness of the relation between agent and object, we want to reflect on the researcher's point of view and how it practically influences the way we develop new visuals. Are they based on the information and its characteristic traits or rather on the needs of its further use? How do researchers influence their own visualizations and are they aware of their subjective approach?
To answer these questions, a jury of internationally recognised experts will be formed for the workshop, which will subject the submitted examples to a structural analysis and combine it with a corresponding discussion. The participants of the jury deliberately cover different areas (technical, academic, artistic) and thus enable a well-founded analysis of the effectiveness.
