Play our new virtual game: You see All
1st October 2020
About us
Welcome to You See All, a game and experience by °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Culture that turns the real world on its head.
You See All offers a parallel version of London, where the buildings and parks of Bloomsbury become epic forests, dungeons and temples. We’ve taken the personality of real-world locations and put them through a fantasy lens; museums become haunted ruins and a park becomes a poisonous jungle.
Over five weeks you can visit an interactive map and solve 18 puzzles connected to the different spaces. You can play the game either in teams or as an individual.
You See All was created in partnership with °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Culture, escape room designer Sacha Coward and illustrator Sheldon Goodman. Their goal was to create a playful and safe way for students to explore the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Bloomsbury Campus.

We’ll be looking at how new technology is improving our lives – from virtual reality tech, to pollution-filtering devices for cleaner breathing. Our friendly researchers will be demonstrating how their work is helping the visually impaired, and how technology will allow us to be independent as we age. We’ll even have a solar-powered café to keep you refreshed throughout the day.[[{"fid":"6423","view_mode":"small","fields":{"format":"small","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Visual impairment","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Visual Impairment Hackathon","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"right","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"small","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Visual impairment","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Visual Impairment Hackathon","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"right","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"}},"link_text":null,"attributes":{"height":"3876","width":"2579","class":"media-element file-small"}}]]The drop-in activities will show a cross section of research taking place at °×С½ãÂÛ̳ which aims to improve our quality of life, including workshops on developing personal power by experts in public health.

Call for co-production applicants – The Digital Legacy of Eugenics
15th Nov 2023
About the programmePrejudice in Power: Contesting the pseudoscience of superiorityThe Prejudice in Power programme is a programme of cultural activism for change against structural discrimination. It explores how eugenics has marginalised voices and shaped society. With collaboration and co-creation at the heart of this programme, we’re engaging with marginalised groups to prompt inclusive thinking. In sharing the lived experiences of those impacted and excluded by eugenic ideas, we hope to provide a platform for societal change and reparative healing.About the projectThe Digital Legacy of EugenicsThis project, led by researcher Lila Brustad, forms part of the Prejudice in Power programme and will explore the relationship between a pseudo-scientific method of photography developed by eugenicists, and the statistics that determine what images users see on TikTok and Instagram. It will include a digital exhibition, as well as a programme of social media activism.What you will be doingParticipants will develop a programme of social media activism and content to encourage critical participation on TikTok and Instagram. Through use of °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Culture’s platform, participants will create meaningful messages about the impact of eugenics and social media in our lives today.Participants will look to the history of eugenic thought and photographic methods to develop a piece of art that will be placed in the digital exhibition. They will also co-produce an object history and there is scope for participants to propose and produce other outcomes for the project.The project is expected to run from December 2023 to February 2024 and will be roughly 8 hours of time commitment for participants, including being involved in 4 one-hour workshops and regular meetings every other week. Exact dates and timelines to be determined.There will be opportunities to gain skills in activism and engagement, and learn about archival research and museum curation. In addition to skills gained, participants will receive Love2shop vouchers appropriate to their time commitment. Alternative payment options may be available.Who we are looking forWe aim to recruit 5-8 visual artists, content creators, activists, or researchers (broadly defined) of all experience levels. Applicants should have experience creating content for TikTok and Instagram. Individuals whose lives have been impacted by eugenic thinking are especially encouraged to apply.This opportunity is open to people within and outside of °×С½ãÂÛ̳.How to applyApplicants should submit a paragraph (max. 300 words) outlining why they want to be involved with this project and what perspective or experience they hope to contribute.
