alt.vis reviewing has begun! This year we have our highest amount of submissions! By quite a bit! And lots of them are really cool!! If you're curious, come on down to alt.vis and write a review! reviewing is self-selected & opt-in (chaos/open reviewing)

For the reviewing phase, we would appreciate two things:
1) Review early. We want to ensure that everyone gets at least two good reviews of their work.
2) Don't just review the most popular. Seek out something that needs a review rather than a hot topic (although, by all means, comment on that as well!).

To review, go to PCS, select "Reviews", select volunteer to review, select (society=VGTC, conference/journal=VIS2025), and select a number greater than 0 for alt.vis. Click the "Reviews" tab, you should now see a link "Select submissions to review for VIS 2025 alt.vis" under the heading "Open Reviewing", click that link. This will take you to a list of the available papers to review. Check all of the papers you wish to review.

This then is the timeline:
August 8th (today!): We have opened the reviewing portal. Reviews and discussion should be immediately visible.
August 28th: We will close reviewing at 5pm PST

Please also feel free to invite your co-authors to review. All are welcome to review.

the special issue is out! please read it and join the discussion — what do YOU think is critical his? have we missed a perspective? how can we grow, learn, and build together? it’s an excellent set of submissions in two parts

Happy to announce the call for papers for the Input Visualization workshop co-located with @ieeevis.bsky.social Interested?! For more details, visit the workshop's website at: inputvisualization.github.io/vis2025/

Input visualizations can be data hunches: annotations drawn on top of a visualization. Or data physicalizations, where tokens are collected and change the visualization as people contribute.

In honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, I wrote this article for republic.com.ng, exploring how African feminist thought invites us to question what it means to be a "feminist human" in an anti-rights era. republic.com.ng/february-mar...

Header of an article titled 'ON BEING A 'FEMINIST HUMAN' IN AN ANTI-RIGHTS ERA' from THE REPUBLIC. The image shows Ama Ata Aidoo and Patricia McFadden in conversation against an orange/coral background with graphic elements. The photo illustration is credited to Ezinne Osueke. Below the headline is the author name 'OLOLADE FANIYI' and date 'MARCH 2, 2025', followed by an introductory paragraph that states: “In an era of accelerating anti-rights movements, our feminist liberation depends not on narrowing the gates of belonging, but on dismantling the very logic of exclusion that has been weaponized against all women.”

in the last stint of my phd, i’ve taken a turn toward data crafting & physicalization and gotta say, it’s so much fun 👾🛸

Googly eyes, pipe cleaners. and pompoms are being used to turn a concept of an alien into a physical data craft exercise.

As @juusokoponen.bsky.social alerted me today, the Visualizing Knowledge conference in Helsinki 🇫🇮 will be taking place on 6 June. If you’re a data viz conference enthusiast you could swing over there then bounce straight over to Florida 🇺🇸 for Outlier the week after. (I’m aiming to get to VK25)

I mean this whole thread is worth reading (esp the part about journalists wanting to make their work accessible but it comes down to those in power) but this is what got me... let's not cut people off from the news. let's start our designs with accessibility considerations first

Thrilled to share this new work by @gotdairyya.bsky.social and Miriah Meyer on how feminist theory can expand the possibilities of vis research. Forthcoming at VIS 2024! osf.io/preprints/os...

A series of overlapping circles that are made up of four concentric circles. The inner circle is labeled the knowledge artifact, then entanglements with phenomenon, then entanglements with apparatus, then entanglements. These concentric circles overlap in a wave of entanglements and cover topics listed as: data, vis, insight, power, conventions, technology, history, processes, materiality, people, society, design, labor, politics, ethics, places.
