Prepping for a Visual Thinking workshop at DCU in Dublin last month (part of a conference entitled “Education after the Algorithm”) had me pondering my current interactions with Generative AI. I recognise that magical feeling of speaking a sentence into the void and being presented with an instant revelation – a conjuring trick. But if […] The post Curious Intelligence appeared first on Open Visual Thinkery.| Open Visual Thinkery
I'm as curious about AI as the next guy. Coding? Oh my goodness, I wish that had been around when I was learning how to program. Imagery? Meh. Seems like a waste of electricity to me...| Open Visual Thinkery
I’ve really enjoyed capturing keynotes and conversations live. It involves being playfully curious about what’s being communicated, and wondering how the pieces of the puzzle could fit together in a visual landscape.| Open Visual Thinkery
I met Grayson Perry at an event once. When he was asked what is art? He responded by saying that Art is stuff made to hang on rich people’s walls… Personally, I think I’ve had to unlearn the classroom concept of art that I picked up at school. Whatever I created had to be a […] The post Art vs. Idea appeared first on Open Visual Thinkery.| Open Visual Thinkery
I was doing a little visual thinking (start in the middle of the page and work out in as many directions as possible) about interpersonal recognition for a credentialing workshop with Badge guru Doug Belshaw for the N-TUTORR project.| Open Visual Thinkery
I think in the early days of thinking about open credentialing, I got fixated on the credential part. The proof you might receive from an authoritative body, qualified to judge, rather than a human nod or tip-of-the-hat from someone in my community. Recognition – we all need it. By the way, it’s a long time […] The post The Meaning of Recognition appeared first on Open Visual Thinkery.| Open Visual Thinkery
I was listening to a politics podcast at the beginning of last week (weren’t we all?) and a cursory reference was made to this quote by Maya Angelou. It nibbled at the back of my head until I was prepping for a workshop mid-week. I drew it up and used it as the focal point […] The post How you made them feel appeared first on Open Visual Thinkery.| Open Visual Thinkery
Hidden in conversation are a whole host of metaphors, which are pictorial clues to the stories being told. Contrasting two metaphors allows us to compare how different each one feels from the other. That being said, for those living in bungalows, this might need some explaining… This illustration was created for a series of credentialing […] The post Microcredentials and Recognition appeared first on Open Visual Thinkery.| Open Visual Thinkery

Will AI's many fingered hands make the world more productive? I don't know. But it will certainly make it more annoying...| Open Visual Thinkery
I was giving a public talk at a Life Sciences museum in Göttingen, Germany earlier this year. Over a hundred people turned up to hear about my journey with Visual Thinkery – A picture says a thousand words. People were encouraged to bring pen and paper and we had plenty on hand to give out […] The post Permission Slip appeared first on Open Visual Thinkery.| Open Visual Thinkery
I created this thinkery in June 2016. That's probably all you need to know. brexit| Open Visual Thinkery
