to visualize data and information
to visualize data and information
to (visually) represent and communicate complex (social)
phenomena
communication design
communication design
if you ask Google...
there is no common and well understood definition for design
(Friedman, 2000)
“
The foundation of design theory rests on the fact that design is by nature an interdisciplinary, integrative discipline
(Friedman, 2003)
“
Design is the intermediary between information and understanding.
(Grefé R., Executive Director, AIGA)

Sociology (of Scientific Knowledge)
chapter 2
research activities are a specific type of social activity that is embedded in a wider societal context.
“
http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/
The important decisions which involve scientists’ work are no longer made by the scientific community alone.
“
(Carrada, European Commission, 2006)
More and more often they are the result of a complex negotiation with a number of social groups.
“
(Carrada, European Commission, 2006)
opening the ‘black box’ of science and technology
Bruno Latour | sociologist of science
Actor-Network Theory
techno-scientific controversies
disagreement on disagreement
cartography of controversies(observing and describing)
a geography of power
EMAPSElectronic Maps to Assist Public Science
Global Warming
So here is the question I wish to raise to designers: where are the visualization tools that allow the contradictory and controversial nature of matters of concern to be represented?

“the usual suspects”(legibility, complication, interaction...)
complexity legibility
mind the graph! a dynamic balance
feedback (from the public)
the possibility to observe the temporal dynamics/trends
indications or examples on how-to-use the maps
more details and more aggregation(zoom in and out)
The possibility to interact with the maps:
Filter (hide part of the information)
Rank (make part of the information more visible)
Aggregate (go from data points to categories)
Search and focus (observe specific data points and their neighborhood)
feedback (from the public)
‘untidy’
narration & exploration
mind the graph! hypothesis for a solution
datascape navigation
mind the graph! a circular movement

“
mind the graph! positive feedbacks
Visualization, then, doesn't only present what we do know in a more accessible way – it also reveals what we don't know.
“
mind the graph! positive feedbacks
[...] we’ve found that visualizations tend to provide starting points for further inquiry, much of which is often done the old-fashioned way: by reading books.
“
mind the graph! positive feedbacks
misled by a spatialization algorithm
mind the graph! new issues
an issue of visual language and rethoric
mind the graph! new issues
the visual language and the rhetoric adopted in the tool conveyed a misleading idea of a correspondences network during the Enlightenment as a well-defined and clearly perceivable phenomenon
“

mind the graph! new issues
What You See is What is There
mind the graph! another misleading evidence
One of the first discoveries was actually not what we visualized, but what we could not visualize.
“
(Findlen & Edelstein, 2011)
three strategies
1. strategy of dissimulation
networks without graphs
Fineo uses alluvial diagrams to depict the relationships between multiple dimensions of categorial data.
2. strategy of diversification
no single, predetermined, entry point to the data
perform multiple and interrelated selections
direct access to the documents ‘in any moment’
different views at the same time
knowing the amount of letters not showed in the visualizations (ambiguity or incompleteness)
Strategy of diversification | achievements
visualization as part of a process
multiplying the points of observation(objectivity / subjectivity)
atlas of controversy

Digital Humanities infrastructures encourage prototyping, generating new projects, beta testing them with audiences both sympathetic and skeptical, and then actually looking at the results

low level of interaction with the data and the visualizations
pre-identication of all the nodes and the links
integrate the network with personal information
act on the visual disposition of the elements (moving, deleting or adding nodes or links)
limits and needs emerged from the workshop
How can we make visualizations function as interfaces, in an iterative process that allows the user to explore and tinker?

design challenges
a digital environment
design challenges
exploration and creation of explicit and implicit relationships
design challenges
1. the interface as an environment for interpretative activities
2. allowing the construction of the network
3. Exploiting the multidimensional nature of the data
4. Understanding and revealing data sources
5. Data manipulation and enrichment
design principles
manipulation, enhancement and creation of data through the interface
design challenges
Search, Show Context, Expand on Demand

design and humanities
from building to design
Process is the new god; not product. [...] The theory after theory is anchored in MAKING, making in the poetic sense of poiesis, but also in the sense of design carried out in action.

““Digital humanists have
much to learn from communication and media
design about how to juxtapose and integrate
words and images, create hierarchies of reading, forge pathways of understanding, deploy grids and templates to best effect, and develop navigational schemata that
guide and produce meaningful interactions”

Digital Humanities vocabulary
McCarty, Rough Intellectual Map for Humanities Computing, 2003
design without designers
bringing digital practitioners and humanities scholars together with experts in art and design to consider the past, present, and future of visual epistemology in digital humanities.
“
learning from communication design, interaction design and industrial design will be vital to 21st century humanistic inquiry”

light incorporation
towards a new (hybrid) way of knowing
humanistic inquiry as a design process
towards a new (hybrid) way of knowing
A digitization of the design process,where interfaces become design tools themselves, asked to perform typical design activities(i.e. selecting, organizing, manipulate, modeling, representing)

visual tools vs. cultural processes
The design of digital tools for scholarship is an intellectual responsibility, not a technical task
