Millions of museum objects walk into a pool. We’re still working on the ending. An interface experiment on Austria's "Kulturpool" >> Jump in, try it, tell us if it works: bit.ly/kpvisuell
The 3 functions of the interface include 1) overviews, 2) dive mode, and 3) fishing for individual objects.

Yes, im Panel zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte der DH wird die Frage nach dem Sinn der Geisteswissenschaften und ihrer gesellschaftlichen Rolle gestellt. Das hat beim #KI Panel direkt vorher leider gefehlt! Top Vortrag von Florian Windhager! #DHd2026

Something we're all in denial about, btw, is that rhetorical infrastructure is one of the central achievements of CS: • 10-page, open-access paper • clear abstract • figure explains the problem on page 1 (or at most 2) • supported by open code • written in ... LaTeX ... (ok, no one's perfect)

Developing the cube of multimodal competencies in (digital) history - thanks for another round with the splendid builders crew: Christian Wachter, @dielindada.bsky.social, and @sschwandt.bsky.social at @zthf.bsky.social!
The 'cube of multimodal competencies', combining the semiotic modalities of text, diagram, and image - regarding both creation and interpretation - for various levels of elaboration and depth.

Feels quite "this is fine" to do conferences these days, but then again (cf. last slide) - new means to defend the perception of art & culture might be most needed when the flood swallows the zone. (1/5)

Taught the first day of "Data for the Rest of Us" and tried an activity I'm calling "We Data." Students construct datasets about themselves in small groups and look for stories in the spreadsheet. A good icebreaker and introduction to the themes of the course. More here:

ok, more to plug. when doing vis, it's our civic duty to reduce complexity, right? if you enroll with the counterexample police, better put some effort into it. achievement unlocked: "complexity as design material", with a wonderful #vis4dh crowd: arxiv.org/abs/2409.07465
