Talk: Creative visualization strategies for complexity science communication.
Communicating the scientific results of studying complex systems can be as challenging as conducting a novel research. Data visualization became an effective way for presenting results, but sometimes charts and diagrams are simply not enough, especially when targeting a broader audience. What are the challenges and (other) possible ways to present complex data or abstract models?
Workshop: Creating customized visualizations via creative sketching
This workshop will guide you through the design process of the award-winning project "Four Seasons: How has the world progressed in recent years?" to enhance your skills in creating imaginative data visualizations, encouraging creative sketching. It welcomes participants from diverse backgrounds, requiring only pens, colored pens, sketching paper, and optional laptops for data access and online visualization tools exploration.
