Wonder why some charts are so hard to read? @wenxu.bsky.social & Lace Padilla show they could be violating your expectations 💭. Join the talk 11:15 - 12:30 in From Data to Meaning – you’ll also learn how to design better connected scatterplots! #ieeevis #cognition osf.io/preprints/os...

Three-panel summary of experiments showing how chart-type schemas and directional cues influence expectations and accuracy when interpreting connected scatterplots. The title reads "Shifting Expectations for Encoding Rules Mitigates Misinterpretation of Connected Scatterplots."

How do data textile creators stitch meaning into their work? 🧶 Hear from @sydneypurdue.bsky.social , Eduardo Puerta, @ebertini.bsky.social, & Melanie Tory, Thurs 11:15 - 12:30. (Rumor has it there’ll be a real piece on display 🤫) #ieeevis #dataphysicalization #datatextiles osf.io/preprints/os...

Screenshot of a paper titled "Stitching Meaning: Practices of Data Textile Creators." Below the title is a figure showing two data textiles pieces – a colorful “book blanket” and a striped “temperature blanket.” It illustrates how textile patterns encode data and describes study focus areas on data, creator motivations, and visual encodings.
