@mcnutt I highly recommend Li Vigni 2020 on "The failed institutionalization of 'complexity science'" for a long-form answer to this question. My takeaway is that despite the inherent contradictions of a 'science of interdisciplinarity', the load-bearing institutions in the visualization field right now seem far more diverse and international, by comparison.

@jazz that’s a really interesting comparison bc it has a really different approach to interdisciplinarity. Not having read the article yet, my impression is that complexity sci is more like a new thing made from old (eg take the problems from an old field like Econ and reinterpret them) whereas vis has more of a client-consultant relationship with other fields where we show and make something and dip (some exceptions obv, like perception) (cf the litany of vis4x sub areas)
