There is a reciprocal relationship between art and visualization research — New media artists redefine the way that we view science and information, while experts in science, medicine, informatics, and visualization impact art practice through new ideas, technologies, and collaborations. The IEEE VIS 2013 Arts Program, or VISAP, showcases high-quality artwork and research that demonstrates and investigates the exciting and increasingly prominent intersections between art and visualization. Through an art show that runs concurrently with the IEEE 2013 VIS conference and a dedicated papers track, the Arts Program aims to foster new thinking, discussion, and collaboration between artists, designers, technologists, visualization scientists, and others working at the intersection of these fields.
The theme for this year's arts program is Art+Experiment. Visualization research encompasses not only data representation, but also the development of interaction techniques, explorations of display aesthetics, and examinations of applied perception. Increasingly, empirical justification for new visualization techniques is derived through well-designed experiments. And in fact, much recent research is concerned with the creation, implementation, replication, and evaluation of user studies in order to propel the fields of information and scientific visualization. At the same time, the new media arts community is interested in the creative possibilities offered by new technologies and new techniques, but also in developing new methods and presentations to explore and question their cultural meaning and impact.
What does it mean for an art installation to produce experimental results? Could an artwork be expressive, challenging, and conceptual, yet simultaneously rigorous, practical, and empirical? We invite artists and researchers to think about the connections and chasms between art and research, and to explore the nature of experimental design and creative experimentation.
