My project, residing at the intersection between Data Visualisation, Human-Computer Interaction and Media Studies, is preoccupied with the negotiations at play in visualisation design processes. More specifically, I aim to characterise the moments when visualisation practitioners choose to stray from pre-defined workflows, to appropriate software tools and extend their functionality, instead of picking up a different tool, medium, technique or story to tell. Where can we observe these moments? How are they being articulated, reported and disseminated? Can their characterisation assist in reverse-engineering developer priorities? Is it possible to assemble a set of guidelines for recognising and classifying them? Answering this type of questions aims to bring my research closer to building a new framework of interaction in visualisation design processes.
