Information+ is an interdisciplinary conference, workshop, and exhibition aimed at bringing together researchers, educators and practitioners to discuss opportunities and challenges in information design and information visualization. Our goal is to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing in these rapidly changing fields. Information+ is organized by Katherine Gillieson (Emily Carr University of Art + Design) and Isabel Meirelles (OCAD University).
The two-day single track conference, June 16 and 17, includes 2 keynotes, 4 invited speakers, and 29 contributed presentations selected using a peer review process. Led by a team of designers and data journalists, the one-day workshop, June 18, provides a forum for sharing the latest best practices in information design and visualization. Practitioners, educators, researchers and students will come together to ideate, prototype and generate responses to Vancouver’s water conservation challenges.
Information Everything, the exhibition of Information+, is on view at the Concourse Gallery from June 6–July 3. Curated by Gillian Russell and Katherine Gillieson, the work includes information design and visualization projects from 6 countries, covering themes as diverse as science, culture, society, and technology, in media ranging from small screen-based graphics to large-scale installation.
