TingYing He, @tisenberg.bsky.social , @drpi.bsky.social and Jason Dykes try to unpick the Bertin’s elusive composite visual variable and open up an exciting expressive design as they Reframe Pattern with a comprehensive new approach. richardbrath.wordpress.com/2025/09/06/t...

Huge thanks to everyone at our #IEEEVIS reviewing panel in Vienna. Grateful to panelists Han-Wei Shen, Michael Sedlmair, Melanie Tory, Helwig Hauser, Bei Wang, Tamara Munzner; and to an engaged audience. Co-organized with @drpi.bsky.social, @nelmqvist.bsky.social & Gunther Weber.

In case you want to be convinced to use the word "pattern" when talking about Bertin's "texture" have a look at our paper (or in case you want to argue with us because you believe texture is still the better term).

Now at para.chi Paris: what is our preferred future for a more sustainable CHI? Stay tuned for the winner...

Today we are at para.chi Paris where we see (mostly local) papers to be presented at ACM CHI in Japan. It's really nice to connect locally before the big conference (especially because I'm not going).

Interested in a Visualization/HCI PhD in France? Come join us. We have 2 positions and will accept dual-career couples as well: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41... jobs.inria.fr/public/class...

A new version of Vispubdata (www.vispubdata.org) is out. It now includes the IEEE VIS 2024 papers and their metadata as well as the TVCG and @ieeecga.bsky.social papers presented at VIS. If you are working on an #ieeevis submission using this dataset, update.

Pretty much

Meine Bundestagswahlunterlagen sind gestern in Frankreich angekommen. Laut Ordnungsamt am 6.2.2025 mit der deutschen Post aus meiner kleinen schwäbischen Gemeinde verschickt - am 13.3. angekommen. Poststempel aus Salzburg (ohne Datum). Wie bitte kommt mein Brief nach Österreich?

Excellent observation of CDU politics in @zeit.de “The secret basic law of CDU politics: the reasonableness of political ideas and concepts is not derived from what they contain, but from who represents them. Only when we represent them and by representing them do they become reasonable.“

A trip down memory lane at the Dagstuhl library. I learned Java programming with the transparencies that eventually turned into this book.

My first time on the omnidirectional treadmill at the University of Stuttgart. Pretty impressive and massive and a little scary all at once.
