Designers, coders, artists, and visualization folks alike can start filling out travel request as a new reason to attend London’s IEEE IV010 conference comes courtesy of Information Aesthetics: the DAVis`10, or International Symposium on Design & Aesthetics in Visualization.

“This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of design, art and related disciplines. The goal is to share their stories and experiences on how the needs and goals of both users and businesses are met through information visualisation.

It supports the publication of research in two general domains: Design and Aesthetics. Design refers to the development of visualisation as a creative design process. Aesthetics refers to the role of user experience in visualisation, as understood in three distinct components: aesthetic experience, experience of meaning, and emotional experience.

Deadlines are tight tho, just 2 weeks (March 1st) but even if you don’t present you definitely want to attend.
