Ways of Machine Seeinghttps://waysof.net/machine-seeing/This is a website for a growing collection of activities for Art & Design teachers to share ideas which explore current developments in image-based Generative AI. Our interest is how both humans and machines are taught to see, in turn how visual culture is being transformed by developments in computer vision.
We take inspiration from John Berger’s Ways of Seeing to provoke some critical questions and creative pedagogy.

Franco Bifo Berardi2019Futurability: The Age of Impotence and the Horizon of PossibilityVerso Bookshttps://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/338-futurability?srsltid=AfmBOorlwqNd_95F6d_P3gj3EXWSjYGL2zTAjh7rWUauZLvNyM8tZWGr“We live in an age of impotence. Stuck between global war and global finance, between identity and capital, we seem to be incapable of producing that radical change that is so desperately needed. Is there still a way to disentangle ourselves from a global order that shapes our politics as well as our imagination? In his most systematic book to date, renowned Italian theorist Franco Berardi Bifo tackles this question through a solid yet visionary analysis of the three fundamental concepts of Possibility, Potency, and Power. Overcoming any temptation of giving in to despair or nostalgia, Berardi proposes the notion of Futurability as a way to remind us that even within the darkness of our current crisis, still lies dormant the horizon of possibility.”

Marc AugéThe Future by Marc Augéhttps://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/31-the-future?_pos=2&_sid=790d8c2a2&_ss=r‘For Marc Augé, best-selling author of Non-Places, the prevailing idea of “the Future” rests on our present fears of the contemporary world. It is to the future that we look for redemption and progress; but it is also where we project our personal and apocalyptic anxieties. By questioning notions of certainty, truth, and totality, Augé finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and liberates the mind to allow it to conceptualize our possible futures afresh.’
