This case study sets out to reflectively explore student and staff experiments with writing and image-making in unfamiliar locations exploring the place of writing in the drifting space of the street and the online world of user-generated content. Throughout 2008-2010 staff at University College for the Creative Arts Maidstone have been developing strategies for teaching photographic and moving image practice using such hybrid combinations of text and image in the context of the street workshop and the studio.
The activities explored in this study were designed for year 2 undergraduate students with the aim of promoting critical discussion of many of the practices in which they already engage in the role of consumer or end user such as theonline critique of images or participation in discussion forums.
