New paper ✨
»Conceptual Analogues: Coming to Terms with Data Visualisation«
https://doi.org/10.11588/ic.2025.1.113533
In which I propose conceptual analogues as terms that fuse theory and practice to expand the language of data visualization. It is based on a contribution to the early-pandemic workshop »What is the Digital Doing?« and is out now in a special issue of Interface Critique, edited by Nina Tolksdorf and Lindsey Drury.
