Abstract
This paper advances the notion of "data-inflected visions" to show how various visual representations may come come to be imagined as data, and how doing so opens up different meanings for the political and affective work of data. The visuality of social issues is produced through competing hegemonic and alternative visions, and conventional visualization is not the only format in which data participate in visual contestation. Focusing on Latin American actions to visibilizar feminicide, I propose an encounter with activist-made imagery to elucidate how data participate in alternative representations of the issue. The article contributes both an exploration of the role of data in constructing how feminicide is seen and a novel approach to study data and visuality, to inspire scholars from visual studies and from feminist and critical data and data visualization studies to engage with images beyond conventional graphic representation as sites for the political affective work of data.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) bridges the theory and practice of computer graphics, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI. From specific algorithms to full system implementations, CG&A offers a unique combination of peer-reviewed feature articles and informal departments. Theme issues guest edited by leading researchers in their fields track the latest developments and trends in computer-generated graphical content, while tutorials and surveys provide a broad overview of interesting and timely topics. Regular departments further explore the core areas of graphics as well as extend into topics such as usability, education, history, and opinion. Each issue, the story of our cover focuses on creative applications of the technology by an artist or designer. Published six times a year, CG&A is indispensable reading for people working at the leading edge of computer-generated graphics technology and its applications in everything from business to the arts.
