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

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)

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

what if... doing theory as "footnote to plato" always was part of the problem? o.O manifesto for not poking out our own eyes, when going theory in the humanities #vis4dh @culturalanalytics.bsky.social
