[Alexandre Hocquet]

Dear SIGCISers,
On behalf of the organizers, I am forwarding the announcement (and a 
program with abstracts, attached as a pdf file) of a workshop entitled 
"Writing the History of Computer Visualizations in the Sciences: 
Production, Uses, Circulation (1940-1990)" that will be held in Paris 
(and online) next May.

Dear colleagues,

We're very excited to announce an upcoming two-day event, "Writing the 
History of Computer Visualizations in the Sciences: Production, Uses, 
Circulation (1940-1990)", taking place *on May 2nd and 3rd 2024 at the 
École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris *(54 boulevard 
Raspail, 75006 PARIS).

The event aims to bring together historians of science in order to 
explore the extent to which the use of computer display technologies for 
producing, reading, interacting and sharing visualizations has affected 
the production of scientific knowledge. A keynote presentation by Janina 
Wellmann (MPIWG) will be held on Thursday, May 2.

This event is organized by the team of the ANR project DESIGNSHS (Design 
Graphique, Recherche et Patrimoine des Sciences Sociales. Le laboratoire 
de Graphique de Jacques Bertin - ANR-20-CE27-0023), supervised by 
Charlotte Bigg (CNRS, EHESS, Centre Alexandre Koyré).

*We invite you to join us either in person or online*. *For the latter 
option, please send an email to edgarlejeune at hotmail.fr and to 
edgar.lejeune at ehess.fr*

Below you can find the schedule for the event. Please feel free to ask 
for the complete program!

Best regards,

Edgar Lejeune (on behalf of the organizing committee)
