Call for Artworks --> INFOVIS ART EXHIBIT
Baltimore, Maryland, October 29-31, 2006

Art Exhibit Deadline June 30, 2006

WHAT
In its first edition, the InfoVis Art Exhibit examines the merging of artistic intention and information visualization technique. We are looking for artwork that reveals data patterns in aesthetic, innovative ways. The goal of the exhibit is to steer viewers towards greater introspection about what information is worth visualizing and why.

We invite submissions in the following formats:
- interactive CD/DVD-ROM work
- interactive web-based work
- printed artwork

WHY
Information visualization is traditionally viewed as a tool for data exploration and hypothesis formation. Because of its roots in scientific reasoning, visualization work has, until recently, been limited to a role of analytical tool for sensemaking.

In recent years, however, both the mainstreaming of computer graphics and the democratization of data sources on the Internet have had important repercussions in the field of information visualization. With the ability to create visual representations of data on home computers, artists and designers have taken matters into their own hands and expanded the conceptual horizon of infovis as artistic practice.

WHERE / WHEN
InfoVis is the primary conference in the field of information visualization. It will be held on October 29 through 31 in Baltimore, Maryland.

HOW
We invite artists to submit either interactive or printed pieces by June 30.
