Participants will create their own futuristic portraits combining AI-generated imagery with traditional collage techniques. Watch a demonstration of Collagism creating with AI program Midjourney, she’ll create AI image of a human-android hybrid, then follow along cutting, layering, and remixing it using a curated pack of printed materials—human features, metallic textures, machine parts, and create
your own acetate overlays.
This hands-on session encourages play and reflection, inviting educators to explore how emerging technologies like AI can enhance, not replace, creative practice. Along the way, participants will gain practical strategies for integrating AI tools into their teaching, while sparking conversations about identity, the role of the artist, and what it means to be human in a changing world. They'll leave with a
completed artwork, fresh inspiration, and classroom-ready ideas that fuse the “new and now” with tactile, expressive collage making.
Collagism aka Holly-Anne Buck, is an Australian multimedia artist based between Melbourne and London. Her art practice, spanning over 20 years centers around collage, encompassing print, video, musical composition, live performance, and site-specific interventions. Her work often explores portraiture, particularly representations of women, blending elements of beauty, femininity, tenderness,
and strength. Having lived in cities such as London, New York City, Mexico City, and Melbourne, her art reflects a fusion of diverse cultures, iconography, and ideologies.
Collagism's work has been exhibited and performed widely internationally in places like Tate Britain, ACMI, NGV and featured in prominent publications like British Vogue and Time Out.
