In a world inhabited by data, how might we become active citizens in the information age? Data is all around us, a stream of personal stories that permeates and backgrounds our digital societies. Situated at the intersection of visualization, art, design, and technology, data acts as boundary objects in between fields of practice. At this intersection, data citizens weave together the fabric of social and environmental phenomena—rich in complexity and expansive in historiography—by making bold, confronting, and narrative visual art. The 11th edition of the IEEE VIS Arts Program (VISAP) is a celebration of visible, instrumental, and critical visualizations brought to the public realm.
