Workshop: Creating Better Visualisations (with STS) plus guest lecture by Laura Watts Tue, Feb 18th 2020, 10-5pm, Goldsmiths
For those who missed it just before Christmas: <br> <br>Creating Better Visualisations (with STS). A workshop with guest lecture by <br>Laura Watts <br>Tuesday, February 18th 2020, 10am-5pm <br>Goldsmiths, University of London <br>How can we advance visualisation practices as modes of doing STS? While STS <br>has been at the forefront of analyzing the role of visualizations in <br>scientific practice (e.g. Latour, Lynch & Woolgar, Daston & Galison etc.), the <br>role of visualizations in STS has gained little attention. In this workshop, <br>we put to ‘trial’ our own visualisations and visual practices. In so <br>doing, we invite participants to bring visualizations drawn from their past or <br>ongoing projects which will be used as a reource for the cross-examination of <br>visualization practices in STS. In groups, we will first analyze these <br>visualisations, and invite participants to consider typical STS questions, <br>such as: How do these visualisations re-present the world? How do they draw <br>together? How do they bring different entities and elements into a single and <br>consistent plane? How are entities included into collectives and what gets <br>excluded, or othered? What are the visualization techniques employed to <br>include and exclude and how are they enacted? What are the agencies, <br>competencies and politics behind them? In a second step, we will re-work these <br>visualisations, based on the analysis gained in the first step. We will aim to <br>include hitherto forgotten objects and actors as well proposing virtual <br>entities in order to consider how visualisation can move analysis from the <br>reflexive to considerations of the speculative. This will involve trying <br>different perspectives in order to see what happens if others (experts, <br>scholars, practitioners, implicated actors and so on) become invested in our <br>own visualisations. <br>The workshop will begin with a lecture by Laura Watts (Interdisciplinary <br>Senior Lecturer in Energy & Society, University of Edinburgh and author of <br>'Energy at the End of the World: An Orkney Islands Saga’, MIT Press) on <br>'Seeing the energy future on the page: working in the whitespace between <br>words' <br>Workshop participants are asked to bring a visual aspect of their own research <br>project and an interest in opening their project up to engagement with other <br>participants. <br>Participation is free, and lunch will be served. <br> <br>Registration is required here: <br>https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/goldsmiths-visualization-workshop-tickets-8561 <br>8227423 <br> <br> <br>Organised by the Centre for Invention and Social Process (CISP), Michael <br>Guggenheim, Isaac-Marrero Guillamon and Alex Wilkie <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
