PolarVis Workshop

PolarVis studies how, why and with what consequences networked visual persuasion becomes a mechanism of integration and polarisation in digitally saturated societies. In that spirit PolarVis is hosting a two-day workshop, which will consist of various scholars coming to speak about each of their research areas. The workshop is public and free, so anybody is welcome.
