MIA – The Meta-Image App has been a long and laborious enterprise which spanned from the University of Westminster (London, UK) where I was founded to the H-Farm College (Venice, Italy) where I completed it.

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to be generously supported by the Quintin Hogg Fund to research and prototype a model and template to integrate in-person activities with self-managed remote learning. 

MIA is a self-paced and highly practical introductory module to visual literacy.  It is there to offer a crash course in handling the challenges and opportunities of the visual language, which remains as ignored as it has become the foundation of each culture across the globe.  

Yet, we would be mislead if we considered the visual an universal language.  It is NOT.

On the contrary, the visual is dramatically imbued with emotions and hence nuances and, if I might use a metaphor, a riddle of dialects and slangs.   

The visual requires, like any other form of communication, and possibly more than any other one, to be attentively taught and curated.  

MIA served that purpose.  Now, alongside MIA, I am crafting and producing a wide range of integrated toolkits to develop visual literacy skillsets further.  

I invite you to explore the many opportunities that MassiMedia.Training offers to dig into the amazingly complex world of visual communication.
