RMU Data Dialogue 2026
Visualizing Critique
The Data Dialogue is a format and platform for sharing and discussing data-related topics. It provides a space for data enthusiasts to connect, learn, and collaborate on various data projects.
// We don’t just visualize data. We visualize perspectives, power, and possibility.
The RMU Data Dialogue 2026 is dedicated to fostering critical and creative perspectives on data visualization, algorithmic practices, and digital infrastructures. It brings together emerging scholars and practitioners to explore how data and their visual representations shape perception, knowledge, and power in contemporary societies.
Participants will engage with current debates in critical data and computational studies, addressing issues such as data ethics, algorithmic bias, visualization politics, digital surveillance, and data justice. This year’s program centers on the idea of visualizing data as critical practice, understood as using visualization not merely to display information but to interrogate, disrupt, and reimagine how data constructs realities, governs attention, and influences action.
The RMU Data Dialogue combines hands-on workshops, exploration groups, and inputs from international experts, who will share best practices as well as fail stories from research and design. Participants will be invited to experiment with critical, artistic, and speculative visualization techniques, opening up new ways of seeing and questioning data.
