by Robert Kosara 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

The EuroVis Workshop on Trustworthy Visualization (TrustVis), formerly known as EuroRVVV, will be held as a co-located event with EuroVis 2019 on June 3rd in Porto, Portugal. TrustVis is a continuation of the EuroRVVV workshop, which was held six times in conjunction with EuroVis and IEEE VIS. TrustVis includes the topics covered by EuroRVVV – Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in visualization – and also widens the scope. https://trustvis.org We use the term “trust” in a broad sense. As a user, trust in a visualization might mean that: * It shows the numbers I know from my spreadsheets (a common use case in industry) * I understand how it is showing the data and I know how to interpret it (HCI, perception, etc.) * It shows results that I can verify or validate by some means (verification, validation) * It employs methods that are based on sound research (reproducibility of research) * If I get sued for a decision I make based on this, I will be able to use it as evidence that I did nothing wrong (reproducibility of decisions) * It shows me the limits of what my data and/or models can provide (uncertainty) Topics we are looking for in the TrustVis workshop include, but are not limited to: * Verification and validation in visualization * Reproducibility of visualization methods and decision making * Ways to improve trust in visualization * Uncertainty visualization * Ways to attack visualization (adversarial visualization) We welcome short paper contributions, which will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived in the Eurographics Digital Library and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the TrustVis track should be no longer than 4 pages for the main content, plus one page for references. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. Besides regular short papers, we also welcome short position papers, where authors have an opportunity to state opinions, present controversial arguments, show on-going work, or share thoughts for future directions. * Submission instructions<https://trustvis.org/submission-instructions> Important Dates * Paper Submission Deadline: April 5, 2019 * Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2019 * Camera-ready Deadline: April 24, 2019 * Workshop Date: June 3, 2019 The TrustVis 2019 Organizers * Robert Kosara – Tableau Software, United States * Kai Lawonn – University of Koblenz – Landau, Germany * Lars Linsen – University of Münster, Germany * Noeska Smit – University of Bergen, Norway

Workshops provide a space to generate ideas that enable the TVX community to explore new, organized ways of thinking about specific topics, and emerging areas or that result in promising directions for future research. This year we are excited to invite you to participate in workshops on four thought provoking and cutting-edge TVX topics: Workshop 1: Interactive Radio Experiences Nowadays radio shows are much more than a linear broadcast feed — they’re all about user engagement. At the same time, many users are no longer only connected to a radio station brand through the linear broadcast channel, but also through digital platforms, and interaction through social media is becoming ever more important. Digital services enable broadcasters and users to customise the radio experience. Radio is today a medium embedded in a context of social media, interaction and personalisation. This workshop thus aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on tools, services and applications enabling interactive radio experiences. - Submission deadline: 8th March 2019 [EXTENDED] - More info: https://www.projectmarconi.eu/calendar/interactive-radio-experiences <https://www.projectmarconi.eu/calendar/interactive-radio-experiences> Workshop 2: Research in the Wild via Performance: Challenges, Ethics and Opportunities Performance can be combined with interactive, online and immersive video as a way of conducting research in the wild. This comes with opportunities to the HCI researcher, with the potential to create surprisingly intimate, aesthetic content which can reconfigure the research context. There are, however, challenges to this mode of working, particularly in how this work may be evaluated, practical challenges and ethical quandaries. ‘Research in the Wild via Performance’ will explore tactics of combining live performance with interactive video as a tool for the HCI researcher, exploring challenges and quandaries through crafting and deploying live performances. - Submission deadline: 22nd February 2019 - More info: https://www.performanceinthewild.com <https://www.performanceinthewild.com/> Workshop 3: 1st Intl Workshop on Data-Driven Personalization of Television (DataTV 2019) The aim of the DataTV 2019 workshop will be to address the increasing importance and relevance of richly granular and semantically expressive data about TV content in the media value chain. Such data needs extraction, modelling and management before it can be meaningfully reused in new, innovative services for TV content such as: i) content Summarization (e.g. to provide highlights of a program according to a specific user, theme or channel); ii) recommendation and Scheduling across Publication Channels (Broadcast, Streaming, Social Networks); and iii) in Stream Personalisation of Content (both spatial and temporal modification of text, audio, video). - Submission deadline: April 10, 2019 - More info: http://datatv2019.iti.gr/ <http://datatv2019.iti.gr/> Workshop 4: Using Design Fiction to Explore the Ethics of VR in the Wild In this half-day workshop, we will explore the ethics of Virtual Reality (VR) through conversations framed around design fictions. Affordable head-mounted displays (HMDs) and accessible VR content are now within reach of large audiences, yet many of VR’s most urgent challenges remain underexplored. In addition to the many known unknowns (e.g. how do we manage sensory conflicts and spatial limitations in VR?), there are many more unknown unknowns (e.g. what kinds of psychological, social and cultural impact will VR provoke?). By bringing together diverse scenarios and design fictions created specifically to explore VR ethics, we will facilitate a rich discussion that will inform the development of three high-fidelity design fictions that will be used to explore the ethics of VR in future workshops, including one in Bristol (Nov 2019: part of the Virtual Realities Immersive Documentary Encounters project). - More info: http://vrethics.info/ <http://vrethics.info/> == FURTHER INFORMATION == For up-to-date information and further details visit: http://tvx2019.com <http://tvx2019.com/>.

Dear colleagues, Please share with interested persons. MEDIA ARTS: Histories and Futures International - low-residency – Master of Arts – Starts September 2019 Deepening praxis and critical comprehension of the digital developments in contemporary art An interdisciplinary field at the intersection of art, science, technology and the humanities, MediaArtHistories examines scientific discovery and technological innovation emerging in art praxis, as well as the genealogies of their historical development and context. At a time when digital technologies are fundamentally revolutionizing the very ways in which we communicate, interact, and perceive images, the MediaArtHistories program trains students from diverse backgrounds to critically analyze the plethora of visual media cultures of today. CONTENT Courses cover Media Art genres such as Net, Telematic and Genetic Art as well as the most recent reflections on Nano, Bio and Transgenic Art, Video Games, Computer Graphics and Animation, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Intelligent Environments, Hacktivism and Tactical Media, Performance, Glitch Art, Hybrid Art and Robotics. MediaArtHistories offers a basis for understanding the evolutionary history of media, from historic examples such as the Laterna Magica and Mechanical Automaton of the 17th century, to computer art at the earliest stages of the Internet in the mid-Twentieth Century and the algorithmic art of today. Special attention is given to the challenges of documentation and preservation of these born-digital, ephemeral and multifarious works. Explored in depth are key methods and theory from Digital Humanities, Image Science, Media Archaeology, Sound Studies, the Intellectual History of Science & Technology, and Digital Gender Theory. Excursions, and on site faculty seminars, introduce students to the main cultural heritage institutions in the field, such as Ars Electronica and ZKM, archives such as the Archive of Digital Art (ADA www.digitalartarchive.at) festivals such as Transmediale, and the Media Art market.
