“…Another important lesson we have learned from this work is that, rather than seeing people as passive information receivers, many design projects have treated people as active agents or collaborators. Such a paradigm has been framed by some researchers and designers as participatory action research, citizen science, or grassroots movements [8,43,65]. Under this paradigm, designers in fact relinquish some design rights to people and allow them to participate in or even dominate the process of data collection and visualization.…”

In recent years, more and more researchers have reflected on the undervaluation of emotion in data visualization and highlighted the importance of considering human emotion in visualization design. Meanwhile, an increasing number of studies have been conducted to explore emotion-related factors. However, so far, this research area is still in its early stages and faces a set of challenges, such as the unclear definition of key concepts, the insufficient justification of why emotion is important in visualization design, and the lack of characterization of the design space of affective visualization design. To address these challenges, first, we conducted a literature review and identified three research lines that examined both emotion and data visualization. We clarified the differences between these research lines and kept 109 papers that studied or discussed how data visualization communicates and influences emotion. Then, we coded the 109 papers in terms of how they justified the legitimacy of considering emotion in visualization design (i.e., why emotion is important) and identified five argumentative perspectives. Based on these papers, we also identified 61 projects that practiced affective visualization design. We coded these design projects in three dimensions, including design fields (where), design tasks (what), and design methods (how), to explore the design space of affective visualization design.

“…Meanwhile, many data visualization projects that intend to leverage the benefits of emotion have been proposed. For instance, researchers have explored affective data visualization as a promising approach to communicating data to a wide audience [8,65]. In the wild, design projects such as the U.S.…”

“…Snowball searching of the reference lists in each paper identified further work. Of the potentially relevant work, this section focuses on the 17 most relevant and representative papers [MNC∗19; MJS20b; KRH17a; JKW∗21; JHSM21; HC16b; ALND17; 19; FBRG10; Sav15; MJN∗18; AJM21; CRMH12; GHWM20; JSHM20; KMF∗12b; DRRD12]. Reviewing this work shows how an analytic orientation gives rise to a collection of interconnected issues and challenges.…”

“…For example, using clicker devices in face‐to‐face town hall meetings generates data that are easy to analyze, but doing so simultaneously limits participants' expressivity to a handful of options without a chance to unpack the reasoning behind their opinions [JKW∗21]. The online engagement methods are often difficult to disseminate, especially to people who do not have access to or are not comfortable using online technology [AJM21]. Furthermore, these methods often lack mechanisms to identify and track demographic information, which is critical to understanding the origin of public input and to ensuring representivity in the collected data [MNC∗19].…”

Recent developments in critical information visualization have brought the field's attention to political, feminist, ethical, and rhetorical aspects of data visualization. However, less work has explored the interplay between design decisions and political ramifications—structures of authority, means of representation, etc. In this paper, we build upon these critical perspectives and highlight the political aspect of civic text visualization especially in the context of democratic decision‐making. Based on a critical analysis of survey papers about text visualization in general, followed by a review on the status quo of text visualization in civics, we argue that civic text visualization inherits an exclusively analytic framing. This framing leads to a series of issues and challenges in the fundamentally political context of civics, such as misinterpretation of data, missing minority voices, and excluding the public from decision making processes. To span this gap between political context and analytic framing, we provide a series of two‐pole conceptual dimensions, such as from singular user to multiple relationships, and from complexity to inclusivity of visualization design. For each dimension, we discuss how the tensions between these poles can help surface the political ramifications of design decisions in civic text visualization. These dimensions can thus help visualization researchers, designers, and practitioners attend more intentionally to these political aspects and inspire their design choices. We conclude by suggesting that these dimensions may be useful for visualization design across a variety of application domains, beyond civic text visualization.

“…Other examples of digital initiatives include attempts to raise publics’ awareness of anthropogenic environmental destruction, species loss, emerging diseases and climate change by bringing together public art with digital technologies. 30 For example, artist and academic Leah Barclay creates augmented and virtual reality immersive environments that layer soundscapes, sonic art and narratives with place and space. These environments include soundscapes of creatures living in aquatic ecosystems across the planet, as well as forests and bushland.…”

From human-centric digital health to digital One Health: Crucial new directions for mutual flourishing

DIGITAL HEALTH

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This brief communication puts forward an argument for expanding the concept of ‘digital health’ to that of ‘digital One Health’ by going beyond a human-centric approach to incorporating nonhuman agents, including other living things, places and space. One Health approaches recognise the interconnected and ecological dimensions of human health and wellbeing, but rarely focus on the role of digital technologies. A set of key questions can take the idea of digital One Health forward: (i) How can we learn more about and establish deeper connections with other animals and the natural environment through digital media, devices and data?; (ii) How can we attune humans to these more-than-human worlds using digital technologies, cultivating attentiveness and responsiveness?; (iii) How can we better develop and implement digital technologies that support the health and wellbeing of the planet and all its living creatures (including humans) so that all can flourish?; and (iv) How can digital technologies affect ecological systems, for better or for worse? Developing digital One Health expands both the digital health field and the One Health perspective, leading them into crucial new directions for mutual flourishing.
