Exploring GenAI and Visual Literacy – launch event

Join us for this launch event at The Photographers’ Gallery on Saturday 28 June, 14:00-17:30, aimed at those interested in art education and the potential for creative and critical use of image-based Generative AI in the secondary school classroom. Free, but please book a place.

The Ways of [Machine] Seeing project, inspired by John Berger’s influential work Ways of Seeing, offers a guide to best practice for secondary school teacher training and curriculum development. It has been developed in collaboration with Art & Design teachers to create, test and refine a series of accessible, engaging activities exploring AI. 

More details and booking here.

Ways of [Machine] Seeing: Towards a new visual literacy in AI (Sept 2024 – July 2025) is developed by CSNI (Centre for the Study of the Networked Image) at London South Bank University (Geoff Cox, Tanya Boyarkina, Tim Fransen), UCL Institute of Education (Annie Davey), Justice Matrix (Yasmine Boudiaf), The Photographers’ Gallery and design by Ricebox Studio. The project team builds upon previous research carried out through a public engagement grant from The Alan Turing Institute entitled “Learning Experiments in Computer Vision and Visual Literacy” (2022-23).

This project is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number EP/Y009800/1], through funding from the Responsible AI (RAi UK) Skills Programme [RAI-SK-BID-00071].
