My survey of boundary objects in design studies w/ Scott Davidoff of JPL will be at BELIV this VIS! 🚀

Teaser: The task of visualization theory is not just to provide artifacts which serve as ‘vehicles for knowledge’, nor only to identify systems through which knowledge flows, but also to discover processes which explain who shares knowledge, where it needs to go, and why it is (not) getting there.

Visualization Artifacts are Boundary Objects

Work to be presented at the 10th BELIV workshop held in conjunction with the IEEE VIS 2024 Conference. Hosted on the Open Science Framework

A couple months ago I needed to card sort a Zotero bibliography. Here's the code so you can use your favorite wireframing tool to outline a background section or survey paper. Existing tools work inside Zotero, but don't persist the working spread.

BiBTeX to SVG cards

Upload your bibfile using the file attachments menu. Selecting the paperclip icon from the right-hand toolbar, find `acmart.bib` in the list and click the replacement icon (two arrows). 2. Download an SVG of your bibliography cards using the cell's dropdown menu (pictured below). It's fine if the cards appear truncated. If an error appears instead, let me know in the comments. 3. Open in Inkscape, Miro, or whiteboarding tool of your choice. Cards have white backgrounds by default, and can be dragged around

I am making an authoring support tool for quality-based narratives (sculptural hypertexts), which makes an explorable skein of the story volume.

I'm recruiting narrative designers for a fully-remote research study at UCSC using this tool! If you write interactive procedural content, and have got an hour to be interviewed, please reach out.
