7 May at University of Gothenburg and online, there will be an open workshop "Word Rains and Word Clouds:
Visualizations for exploring and comparing texts in the humanities, arts and social sciences".

We will have a short tutorial on how to use the Word Rain text visualization technique, and discuss the use of word rains and word clouds in research.

@toroe The core #wordrain people will be present at #39C3, so a DH assembly could definitely be interesting.
