Duncan has spent more than 35 years working with broadcasters like the BBC, Discovery, ITV, PBS and Netflix. His use of AI to reimagine historical scenes propelled him into the spotlight – his viral “selfie” series turned the Last Supper and Cleopatra’s court into smartphone snapshots, and he is now considered one of the UK’s most commercially published AI artist. He combines deep editing experience with cutting‑edge generative techniques, producing AI‑driven projects for brands such as Nissan and Virgin.

During this hands‑on session you will:

• Learn the essentials of AI image generation from concept to prompt engineering. Duncan will share how he crafts prompts and refines them to achieve striking results.

• Explore narrative and visual storytelling through AI; discover how to blend historical or personal themes with modern aesthetics.

• Get feedback and guidance on your own creations. Bring a laptop or tablet and experiment with the tools on site.

• Discuss the ethics and potential of AI in creative industries.

What you will need:

• You will need a laptop or tablet and access to a web browser or download the OpenAI app ( wifi access will be available on site)

• Power cable to charge your device.

If you would like to take part but do not have access to a laptop or tablet then please get in touch at [email protected] or call us on 012737786.
