What can visualization amplify?

For VISAP’26, Amplification asks us to think about visualization not only as representation, but as a way of making signals, stories, and relations more present. Some data becomes visible, operative, and powerful. Other stories remain quiet, fragmented, obscured, or deliberately ignored.

This year’s call invites works that question what counts as signal, noise, evidence, or visibility — and that explore how visualization can reveal hidden structures, suppressed histories, fragile ecologies, minor gestures, and forms of community knowledge.

Submission deadline: June 30, 2026 AoE

VISAP’26 returns as the arts and design program of IEEE VIS (@ieeevis), bringing together visualization researchers, designers, artists, and practitioners who explore creative and critical approaches to data through art, design, and visualization. As both an exhibition and publication venue, VISAP creates space for experimental practices and interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersections of data, art, and design.

Amplification is the theme of VISAP’26.
How might amplification serve humanity? What does data make louder, and what does it silence?

VISAP’26 invites works that make the quiet legible, the overlooked visible, and the unheard more present — challenging how visualization can amplify voices, relations, histories, ecologies, and forms of knowledge.

We welcome research papers, pictorials, and artworks across all media: interactive visualizations, sculpture, AR/VR/XR, sound, video, writing, digital fabrication, spatial computing, and more.

VISAP’26 will be held in Boston, alongside IEEE VIS (@ieeevis), from November 9–13, 2026.

Submission deadline: June 30, 2026

What happens when communities own their data?

The Living Data Hubs project in Kibera, Kenya shows that community governance helps build trust in data and strengthens local capacity. The project provided the community with access, control, and ownership over data about them by building wireless access points, allowing community members to collect their own data using surveys and sensors.

📄 A new paper about this project by @datasew and Gabriella Carolini is now published (link in bio).

This work was made possible by the generous support of @sidaracollaborative and our collaborators, @kounkuey and @tunapanda_org.

Congratulations to the team: @datasew, Gabriella Carolini, Vera Bukachi, Manshur Talib, Regina Opondo, Ibra Maina, Joe Mulligan, Josephine Miliza, @eng.alphonceodhiambo, Prisca Okila, @madebygulaid, Sarah Rege, Innocent Ndubuisi-Obi Jr, @ashsicle, Kwesi Afrifa, Wesley Woo, @spurbhi by @datasew

The Atlas of Popular Transport has been nominated for the Equitable and Sustainable Media Architecture category at the @mabiennale awards! We are heading to Bangkok to present this fantastic project.

The Atlas was created by the @civicdatadesignlab, with the support of @mit_lcau, and led by @datasew. The project was first exhibited at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

The Atlas of Popular Transport tells the story of sixteen cities worldwide that created missing data on their transport systems. By leveraging mobile technology, local actors in each city mapped the routes and stops of their popular transit networks. They shared this data openly by enabling downloads, uploading it to Google Maps, and designing analog maps, making it accessible for anyone to use and build upon. This installation invites audiences to explore the transit data from these cities and, in doing so, highlights how democratizing data can foster empowerment and participation.
Visit our project website at atlasofpopulartransport.mit.edu to learn more about these collective intelligence stories!

An inspiring evening where local voices met global perspectives.
On October 15, this public talk marked a milestone for From Data to Change, reflecting on what has been achieved and opening space for international dialogue on data, design and civic participation.

The event opened with remarks by Ursula Läubli, Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Switzerland in Armenia and Deputy Regional Director of Swiss Cooperation South Caucasus.

Siuneh Arakelian, Director of From Data to Change, outlined the progress and milestones reached so far.

We were honored to host Sarah Williams (MIT, Civic Data Design Lab) and Dana Cuff (UCLA, cityLAB), who shared their work in civic data, architecture and urban design, highlighting how data and design are being used to reimagine cities around the world.

From Data to Change is led by HYPHEN4 and Supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) through the Embassy of Switzerland in Armenia @swissembassyarmenia and its Swiss Cooperation Office. This program is carried out by HYPHEN4 in partnership with @tumocenter , GeoVibe, and the @nuaca__university National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia (NUACA). by @datasew
