RESILIENCE
Visualizing Knowledge, a conference, a showcase and workshops, invites you to reflect on resilience as a driving force for development, exploring both nature and humanity’s capacity to overcome.
Through data visualization and information design, we’ll examine how individuals, societies and systems adapt to a rapidly-changing world, and how their connections stretch, break, and are created anew.

Getting meaning from data plays a vital part in understanding the world around us. How can we use data storytelling and scrollytelling to explore and explain complexities and uncertainties? How do we visualize and communicate resilience in the face of natural disasters or societal upheaval? We welcome a wide range of approaches to knowledge visualisation and representation of data.Keywords: resilience, scrollytelling, data humanism, data journalism, accessibility, data art
Law and policy exist as complex, diverse and deeply layered systems that span the entire world. Heavily involving geopolitics, science, health, industry and every subject imaginable, it is a fabric that permeates every level of our lives, and it is resilient by design. Can this complex system be visualised? How can we use data visualization to both better use and understand legal frameworks and their limitations? What role does resilience play in governance, human rights, and policy-making?Keywords: law, legal data, ethics, data journalism, maps/borders, geopolitics, geospatial data, investigative journalism, regulation, democracy, governance
It is important, now more than ever, to discuss the current and future role of AI in our lives. The growing presence of AI tools for automation opens up new avenues of possibility and potential, and therefore may enhance our resilience in a number of ways, but is there a cost? What is our role in approaching and embracing this change responsibly? In envisioning an AI future where humanity is centred, how do we address the biases, ethical concerns and the social implications? What does an equitable and sustainable AI future look like?Keywords: AI tools, human-centred, ethics, biases, responsible data, decision-making, algorithmic transparency, sustainability, language processing
We are constantly in search of a deeper understanding of our natural world. Considering recent developments in science, medicine, exploration of space and the depths of the ocean, we are pushing at the final frontiers of nature, and understanding its capacity for resilience -- as well as its limits -- is of vital importance. How can data visualisation contribute to greater understanding on these topics? Can it support decision-making of both individuals and collectives, and grant us the ability to make better choices for our future?
We welcome interdisciplinary and wide-ranging approaches to visualisation of topics related to nature, science, health, and the environment.
