From
6–7 November 2025, the IEEE VIS Arts Program (VISAP) presents its international exhibition and talks at the Angewandte, showcasing
artistic explorations of data, science, and hybrid visualization. The main exhibition runs opens on 6 November, 6–9 pm, and
continues on 7 November, 11 am–7 pm. From 8–15 November, the exhibition transitions into a Hybrid/Augmented Reality show,
extending its presence as part of PIXELvienna 18.
The exhibition challenges
traditional, extractive approaches to data and instead centers frameworks of reciprocity, empathy, and environmental awareness.
Featured projects span speculative design, community-centered storytelling, eco-critical perspectives, and AI co-authorship
— all aiming to illuminate hidden stories, disrupt bias, and propose alternative ways of seeing and engaging with data.
Collective Care: A New Vision for Visualizing DataAs data-driven technologies increasingly
shape our lives and environments, VIS Arts Program (VISAP) 2025 invites the public to reimagine data visualization as an act
of care, responsibility, and connection. This year’s edition, titled “Collective Care,” brings together a peer-reviewed international
array of artists, researchers, and designers working at the intersection of art, science, and ethics to ask: How do we design
visualizations that not only represent, but actively protect, nurture, and respect the environments and communities embedded
within datasets?

VISAP 2025: Collective Care runs in
conjunction with the IEEE VIS 2025 conference, the premier global forum for visualization research and PIXELvienna 18 conference.About VISAP
The VIS Arts Program (VISAP) is a dedicated exhibition and mini-conference running
alongside IEEE VIS, the leading international conference on data visualization. As the largest affiliated event within the
conference, VISAP acts as a dynamic platform for media artists, data scientists, and theorists to meet, collaborate, and explore
critical new directions in art and technology.
Submissions to VISAP include original artworks, papers, and pictorials.
All accepted contributions will be showcased on the VISAP website and featured the catalog. Papers and pictorials will be
formally published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
This year, VISAP 2025 will take place in person in Vienna, with
additional programming including a keynote by Kim Albrecht at the opening. The University of Applied Arts made it possible
to open up the exhibition without admission fees to the local community to foster exchange between global and Austrian creative
networks.
