Florian Windhager

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!

Checking in on the project of modernity and its attempts to tackle its very own challenges multimodally: “Words divide, pictures unite” (Neurath). Panel, exhibition, and tours for 100 years of ISOTYPE at VIS 25. #ieeevis sites.google.com/view/isotype...

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)

The deadline for *paper submissions* (5 pages, excl. references - via PCS) is June 30, 2025 (23:59 AoE).

Submissions to the short-format *AGORA track* (provocations, lab talks, artworks, or work in progress) consist of a 1-page abstract only (DL: August 22) -

Defense Against Dishonest Charts This is a guide to protect ourselves and to preserve what is good about turning data into visual things.

Obviously, we just got started. But there’s 4 long years, at least, to ramp up the means of resistant design. Find the whole slide deck at bit.ly/DDB25
(5/5, work with @erigeneia-eos.bsky.social)

In between, interfaces based on iii) cognition-supporting, ‘scalable viewing’ tech, or iv) reflective design strategies offer equally promising opportunities, as do many v) post-digital or deliberately non-digital exhibition designs. (4/5)

How to digitize and represent art and cultural heritage for dopamine-flooded and attention-fracked audiences in times of more media? We consider it key to avoid both naiveté and the dilemma to choose between i) listless standard tech and ii) high-gloss insta feeds. (3/5)

We started from @tedgioia.bsky.social‘s vital State of Culture, 2024 (www.honest-broker.com/p/the-state-...) and turned this lens to “The Art Museum in the Digital Age” (@belvederemuseum.bsky.social, Jan 20-24) (2/5)

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)
