I sketchnoted a fantastic presentation and live demo of the King Athelstan VR & AI project at Kingston University.

Dr Jarek Francik showcased how VR, AI and sound are being used to bring history to life in immersive new ways. Such a great example of creative tech and heritage coming together, thank you for sharing! #VR #AI #DigitalHeritage #CreativeTechnology

*Awesome* my pictorial paper ‘Art, Identity, and AI: Navigating Authenticity in Creative Practice’ has been conditionally accepted to Creativity and Cognition 2025 

Exciting news! I’ve co-authored two accepted contributions to #CHI2025!
