<h2>Speaker's Bio</h2>
<p>As a self-employed “Truth and Beauty Operator”, Moritz Stefaner keeps chasing the perfect shape for information. With a background in Cognitive Science and Interface Design, his work beautifully balances analytical and aesthetic aspects in mapping complex phenomena to support data–driven decision making. Moritz has helped clients like the OECD, Google News Initiative, Salesforce, the World Economic Forum, Deutsche Bahn and the Max Planck Research Society to find insights and beauty in large and complex data sets. He is the record winner of the Kantar Information is Beautiful awards and his work has been exhibited at Venice Biennale of Architecture, SIGGRAPH, Max Planck Science Gallery, Fondation EDF, and Ars Electronica. As a writer, co-host of the Data Stories podcast, and sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, Moritz Stefaner continues to excite more and more people about the magic that can emerge when art and science connect deeply.</p>
<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>With insights from high‑profile data communication projects, Moritz Stefaner examines the evolving role of human‑centered data design in an era of automation. When AI can produce “good enough” charts in seconds, where do full‑time data designers add irreplaceable value? The talk argues that visualization is not just syntax and semantics, but also pragmatics: tone, empathy, and cultural context. Drawing on work like Germany’s vaccination dashboard, OECD’s Better Life Index, and data physicalization experiments, Stefaner shows how design decisions shape meaning, behavior, and trust, and which design strategies actually create lasting value.</p>
<h2>Workshop Focus</h2>
<p><strong>Calling all visual communicators!</strong> VisComm brings together practitioners and researchers from a wide range of disciplines to address pressing questions about how data visualization is evolving in our everyday lives. We particularly encourage participation from journalists, designers, health communicators, policy advocates, educators, and others who may not typically attend <a href="http://ieeevis.org/">IEEE VIS</a> but who play a vital role in shaping how data reaches the public.</p>
<p>This year’s theme is <span class="highlight">Elevating the Art of Public Data Visualization</span>. We’re especially interested in work that explores visualizations in public service announcements, exhibits, physical formats, and other non-traditional media—visuals that aim to raise awareness, provoke reflection, or spark behavior change. We also emphasize the often-overlooked influence of <strong>style guides</strong> and design standards in shaping how public audiences perceive and trust visual content. Understanding how people interpret, trust, and act on visual information in real-world contexts remains a core concern.</p>
<h2>Topics of Interest</h2>
<ul>
<li>The development and use of style guides for public-facing data visualization</li>
<li>Designing for diverse audiences with varying visualization literacy</li>
<li>Evaluating visualizations through behavioral studies or in-situ use</li>
<li>Strategies for communicating complex data in constrained formats</li>
<li>The role of metaphor, narrative, emotion, and persuasion</li>
<li>Tools and workflows for awareness, education, or advocacy</li>
<li>Emerging domains like public health, climate, and civic engagement</li>
<li>Trust, misinformation, and responsible visual communication</li>
<li>Case studies from journalism, advocacy, and public outreach</li>
</ul>
<h2>Date and Location</h2>
<p>The workshop will be held at the <a href=https://maps.app.goo.gl/SA5U726D8FdAYxrC7>Austria Center Vienna, Bruno-Kreisky-Platz 1, 1220 Vienna, Austria</a>, <em> on Sunday, November 2, 2025 from 2:00 PM - 5:30 PM (GMT+1).</em></p>
