Pelagios Visualisation Talk with Mitchell Whitelaw,
5 October 2023 (online via Zoom)
11am BST, 8pm ACT, 12pm CET, 6am ET
We are delighted that Mitchell Whitelaw <https://mtchl.net/>, Professor at
the School of Art and Design at the Australian National University has
agreed to deliver the annual Pelagios <https://pelagios.org/> open
visualisation talk on the topic of ‘Visualising Lively Data’.
The living world is increasingly captured and represented through data.
While this data is shaped by scientific models of knowledge, biodiversity
data might also offer new and urgent forms of engagement with a
more-than-human world. Through a series of recent projects and experimental
research, this talk asks how we might design more “lively” visual
interfaces to this lively data.

Coordinators of the Pelagios Visualisation activity
The Pelagios Network is a global community of researchers, scientists and
curators using Linked Data methods and tools to investigate the past.
Within this community the Visualisation Activity exists to promote
discussion of the illustration and dissemination of spatial data and
networks. Many of you will remember the fascinating talk given last year by
Olivia Vane, about her work on data visualisation for The Economist. In
previous years speakers have included Elijah Meeks and Johanna Drucker.
Professor Whitelaw is based at the School of Art and Design at the
Australian National University, and is an academic, writer and maker with
interests in digital design and culture, data practices, more-than-human
worlds and digital collections. His teaching and research takes up data and
code to seek out moments of insight and delight that intensify our
engagement with a complex world. His work has appeared in journals
including Leonardo, Digital Creativity, Digital Humanities Quarterly, and
Senses and Society. He has worked with institutions including the State
Library of NSW, the State Library of Queensland, the National Archives and
the National Gallery of Australia, developing "generous" interfaces to
their digital collections. His current research investigates environmental
and biodiversity visualisation, and digital design for a more-than-human
world.

Join us on Zoom! Our Open Space Day as part of the Digital Academy 2023: “From
Uncertainty to Action: Advancing Research with Digital Data” - 28 September,
2023.
The Digital Academy once again invites you to a vital exchange on data-based
research and digital methods. This year, we will focus on an issue that affects
the Digital Humanities on all levels: uncertainty. In this context, uncertainty
is not understood as something deficient that inevitably makes data-based
research within the digital humanities blurry. Instead, uncertainty underscores
contingent opportunities to productively explore and develop strategies of
dealing with digital research data.
Three experts will report on their research projects and share their views on
the topic of uncertainty in data-driven research. In an interview format, they
will elaborate on topics spanning from modeling digital corpora and
scholarly/scientific concepts, questions of accessing digital data in born-
digital archives, to strategies of capturing uncertainty in scholarly editions.
After each interview, there will be an open discussion with the Zoom audience.

28 September, 2023; all times in CEST
