The picture shows two viewers standing in the front of a large interactive screen displaying clusters of triangle marks that represent pollution data.
An event poster for the data-inspired show "The Numbers," directed by Jonathan Carr and devised by the company. A QR code for ticket registration appears at the bottom left. At the bottom right, it lists the show running from November 13–23, 2025, at the Studio Theatre, presented by Northeastern University’s Department of Theatre.
Screenshot of a paper titled "An Autoethnography on Visualization Literacy: A Wicked Measurement Problem" by Ge et al. The figure below shows the lifecycle of a visualization literacy assessment, including three stages: Conceptual, Methodlogical, and Operational, with example calls to action.
A diagram from a Creamer et al. paper showing the experimental design and results of a study replicating the use of augmented reality in astronomy publications.
A figure from a Stokes et al. paper illustrating "Replace Mappings" in data visualization, using three example charts where text annotations replace traditional elements like axes and legends.
Three-panel summary of experiments showing how chart-type schemas and directional cues influence expectations and accuracy when interpreting connected scatterplots. The title reads "Shifting Expectations for Encoding Rules Mitigates Misinterpretation of Connected Scatterplots."
Screenshot of a paper titled "Stitching Meaning: Practices of Data Textile Creators." Below the title is a figure showing two data textiles pieces – a colorful “book blanket” and a striped “temperature blanket.” It illustrates how textile patterns encode data and describes study focus areas on data, creator motivations, and visual encodings.

Screenshot of a paper titled "An Evaluation of Temporal and Categorical Uncertainty on Timelines: A Case Study in Human Activity Recall Visualizations." A diagram below the title summarizes a study on how people recall daily activities with uncertainty. It shows examples of participants describing uncertain times and activities, corresponding visual timeline encodings, and study results from 81 participants.
Poster showing a grid of data visualizations recreated using different artistic media. Rows correspond to mediums – pencil, dip pen, crayon, colored pencil, watercolor pencil, and watercolor – while columns show different uncertainty visualizations.
Diagram illustrating four stages of a network optimization process: (a) candidate node selection, (b) neighborhood selection, (c) optimizing the neighborhood, and (d) resulting layout with fewer edge crossings. Arrows guide the process flow from left to right and back to the start.
Figure showing three example dashboards broken down into colored block diagrams and corresponding interaction and adjacency graphs that illustrate relationships and connections between dashboard elements.
Presence of the Northeastern University Khoury Visualization Lab at IEEE VIS 2025: 8 papers, 3 workshops, 2 panels, a doctoral colloquium talk, a VAST challenge that received Honorable Mention, a poster, 3 service contributions, and 2 awards.

Screenshot of a paper titled “Data Theatre as Input Visualization: Building Community Voice and Cohesion.” The background features light blue abstract line drawings resembling maps or paths.
Screenshot of paper titled “A Priest, a Rabbi, and an Atheist Walk Into an Error Bar: Religious Meditations on Uncertainty Visualization” by Michael Correll and Lane Harrison. Below the title, an eye in a winged triangle is encircled by shapes and a ribbon with religious symbols. Text at the bottom reads “BE NOT CERTAIN.”
