The call:_
A visualization can influence and be influential, defining influence as 
the quality to change mindsets and behaviours without imposition. 
Influence of/in visualizations helps to shape ideas, create opinions, 
spread information or foster debates, often beyond the community of 
viewers it is devised.
The most influential visualizations are recalled, mentioned, or imitated 
over time; mostly, they generate new knowledge or inspire new 
visualizations. Although we are all touched by influential 
visualizations, the topic of influence is still little explored by 
scholars of visual analysis/communication. For instance, defining, 
quantifying, and measuring influence in visualizations need to be 
verified. Equally, thorough investigations are required to define the 
visual elements that characterize influence or understand how producing 
more influential visualizations.
In this workshop we will discuss ideas, concepts, problems, and 
challenges around important research questions that focus on influence 
in visualization and visual communication.

_The relevant topics for this call/workshop are:
_Visual encoding
Visual elements (featuring/improving influence)
Measurements (of influence)
Visual system and perceptions (e.g. eye tracking)
Emotional response and reactions
Aesthetics of influential visualizations
Memorability
Visualization criticism
Visual communication and analysis
Close reading, active reading
