Infographics aesthetic literacy
1. Aesthetic literacy
is the act of transforming space into learning space. It is a mix of perception, intellect, and emotion,
an understanding that all environments are pregnant with the possibility of learning
if we adjust ourselves towards receiving it.
Layeredness
The layered world includes the emergence of
linear, pointillist, cyclical and durative times,
the complexity of physical, virtual and social
places, and the humaneness of local, global,
individual and social relations of people.
Simultaneity
Multiple learning engagements and
processes are occurring simultaneously
in open learning environments.
Learning space
involves seeing learning potential
in the open landscape.
Learning variables
Beauty
is an open-ended
empathy towards the
perceptible and workable.
Mindset
or an aesthetic orientation, seen
through cognitive, emotional and
intentional transformation activities
of pacing, encountering, connecting,
interacting and processing (reďŹning).
Alignment
is focused on perceptual
relationships with the surrounding world,
i.e. on perceptual sensitivity.
Attunement
is connected with activities
oriented to the environment,
i.e. to behavioural rhetorics.
Trust
generates individual learning.
Discussion
generates mutual understanding.
Collage
generates shared resources.
Field activity
refers to acts, performances
and behaviour in which people
perceive, examine and make
meaning for their current
and future under-
standing in their
natural environ-
ments
Method
Open learning
is an act of openly receiving,
composing, and sharing
human, material and
digital substances and
energies from the open
environment.
Open learners
need ownership of
their learning.
Open teachers
perceive themselves
to be aesthetes and artists.
Mobile learning
- occurs across multiple contexts,
amongst people and interactive technologies,
- encapsulates public and private processes
and high and low states of transactional distance,
- is mobile in both material (physical) and cognitive.
Lifelong learning
is the ability of the learner in
open environments to
consistently deďŹne, execute
and reďŹect upon their
learning agenda.

2. Learning
Learning is positioned as a deliberate act balancing trust in perceptual sensitivity (alignment), behavioral rhetorics (attunement),
activity (data collection, composition, socialized activity) and reďŹection (to identify what has been learned, what must be iterated
upon, etc.). Learning is a state of becoming mentally, physically, and perceptually sensitized, through alignment and attunement
activity, to the environmental system in which the individual is resonating.
Open Learning
is an act of openly receiving, composing, and sharing human, material and digital substances and energies from
the open environment. Learning in the open means displacement from open access and participation to learning resources and
activities to self-initiated and self-seduced intentional and serendipitous learning acts in all possible environments and settings.
The process by which learning takes place in the open begins with an emotional evaluation of the open landscape; emotions
return potential learning materials or attributes that might be in turn addressed in our logical or intellectual structures and bodily
behaviour. Open learning of this sort avoids the inside/outside binaries of open access, open source, and the more traditional
forms of open learning (open courses, OER, etc.).
Open Learners
need ownership of their learning. This means both capacity (e.g. having and accessing a relevant technology),
ability (e.g. knowledge, skills and timing mastery to use the technology) and a social context for free will. The learner in this open
space is a highly active, highly engaged, and highly self-aware (or reďŹective) individual ready to engage the open environment.
Open Teachers
perceive themselves to be aesthetes and artists. This does not mean working in private (or public) ateliers or
writing and composing sanctums, but more everyday artisan type of orientation to presence and collaborations with (other)
learners. Open teachers enact the learning they espouse in their learners by actually doing the learning, from aesthetic
alignment to trust to discussion to collage. Open teachers make themselves available to encourage students to develop
capacity for aesthetic alignment and attunement in open spaces, to identify objectives and approaches, to collage or artfully
create, to socialize and to reďŹect on the usefulness of these engagements. Pragmatically, patience and ďŹexibility are the positive
traits of the open teacher. Patience (resulting from trust) to allow the learner to ďŹnd their own presence in this open landscape;
ďŹexibility to adapt their approaches to the particular alignments and collages of the learner.
Lifelong learning
is the ability of the learner in open environments to consistently deďŹne, execute and reďŹect upon their
learning agenda. We see the deďŹnitions and concepts provided in this glossary as all supporting lifelong learning.
Mobile Learning
is deďŹned as follows:
Learning that occurs across multiple contexts, amongst people and interactive technologies.
Learning that encapsulates public and private processes and high and low states of transactional distance; activity will
ďŹux between working alone and working in groups as well as towards and away from the organization.
Learning that is mobile in both material (physical) and cognitive. If there is no transformation of your understanding or
your capacity for perception, there is no mobile learning.
Method
Beauty
In play almost everything in the natural environment is seen through the lens of beauty or as beautiful. This perception of
beauty through play is independent of any formal assessment of its aesthetic value. Beauty is a subjective value embedded
in colours, forms, surfaces, and movements, which allows learners to perceive and act in objects, places, events and people.
Beauty is an open-ended empathy towards the perceptible and workable.
Mindset
Aesthetic literacy is a mindset, or an aesthetic orientation, seen through cognitive, emotional and intentional
transformation activities of pacing, encountering, connecting, interacting and processing (reďŹning). The mindset is ďŹlled
and composed via the qualities of activity: slow and fast, ďŹuent and angular, intact and unbalanced, exciting and mawkish,
and rhythmic and arrhythmic. It is activated through alignment and attunement.
Alignment & Attunement
Alignment and attunement refer to how we as humans cope with environments and niches in which we are embedded.
Alignment and attunement do not exactly mean the same although they can in practice be used in the same sense.
Alignment is more focused on perceptual relationships with the surrounding world, i.e. on perceptual sensitivity, while
attunement touches the world more via acting on it. Attunement is connected with activities oriented to the environment, which we
refer to as behavioural rhetorics.
Behavioural rhetorics
as an element of aesthetic literacy refers to three kinds of active resonance. They are anticipatory emptiness, emotional openness
and bodily vigilance.
Anticipatory emptiness
is an active cognitive state of preparedness to recognize signiďŹcance in open environments.
Emotional openness
is closely connected with anticipatory emptiness. When you are cognitively anticipating meaning in an open environment,
feelings are allowed to arise as such, thereby freeing the mind to craft meaning from dynamic environments.
Bodily vigilance
is a part of anticipatory emptiness and emotional openness. It is an openness to physically move, change position and
to seek new perspectives for aesthetically attuning and immersing oneself in one's actual niche.
Perceptual sensitivity
is the ability of the learner to perceive the potential for meaning in their open environments. This can involve perceiving towards,
perceiving backwards, perceiving onwards, and perceiving by.
Perceiving towards
means that we align ourselves with perceptible matter like a sunrise and sunset.
Perceiving backwards
is in relation to earlier perceptual experiences, which is made visible in the present like seeing in the actual âvagueâ sunset all the strong
and saturated colors that were present before.
Perceiving onwards
is related to being inside the actual perception like seeing in the sunrise a pace of the forthcoming day, a predictive perception of future
possibility.
Perceiving by
refers to perception that is not ďŹxed to some point or continuum, but to the periphery; it can be thought of as the possibility to see âinvisible"
lines, forms etc. building quite new meanings and realizations for the perceiver.
Trust
generates individual learning. Trust also leads to the reduction or demolishing of pedagogy. Pedagogically trust empowers
de-pedagogy. It means a skepticism towards or outright rejection of control and comparative measurement. However, it also means
respect, attention and presence for learners and learning, which takes place everywhere, all the time and by everyone. Trust as pedagogy
leads to acts recognizing learning as a rich resource, which is owned by all people and acquired in all their possible informal and formal
settings. Trust is the bedrock of all the subsequent pedagogy of PoS (pedagogy of simultaneity). Trust allows the learner to believe that meaning
exists in their landscape, to believe that the learning approaches and reďŹections are extensions of that perceived meaning, and to believe that the
learning representations and knowledge generated from those approaches are valid expressions of the meaning identiďŹed there. Trust is
an emotional leap of faith based on perceived, or approximated, signiďŹcance.
Trust is critical for the development of the capacity for aesthetic alignment. Without it, we revert to formal modes of instruction and formal
pedagogical approaches that emphasize outcomes over process. PoS, beginning with trust, decidedly emphasizes process over outcome.
Discussion
generates mutual understanding. The basic pedagogical task is to notice and make possible these discussion sessions informally and
formally at schools, workplaces, networks and in all places and forums where learners meet. Pedagogically, discussion means re-pedagogy,
which produces new learning for the people taking part in assemblies. In Pedagogy of Simultaneity, we explicitly attempt to make visible
this deconstruction and reconstruction of pedagogy on foundations aligned with the natural world.
We circulate our ďŹndings, the initial results of our aesthetic alignments, through our social networks. Much of this socialization is generated
through the environment itself, a socialization in situ. We encounter neighbors, friends, co-workers, strangers, collections of social interaction,
both on and ofďŹine. We are perpetually circulating alignments through these networks, revising, resubmitting, reďŹecting.
Collage
generates shared resources. Collages ďŹrst appear as aggregates of separate fragments, but then - after aesthetic orientation - they
emerge by themselves as reďŹective wholes. In practice all mashups, collections, summaries and other aggregates whether text-based or
multimedia can be seen as collages. Collages are not external truths as such, but personal and inviting, constructed to help the individual
see and understand them by themselves. Pedagogically, collage is an activity and outcome, which can be called en-pedagogy.
En-pedagogy is analogical with en-code, a process of converting plain text into code. The meaning gleaned from the open environment is
encoded into the collage. Once generated and circulated as a collage, it is built upon or contrasted against. It is progressive in the sense
that it is never repeated in exactly the same way as the context and aesthetic alignments that generated it are never the same. It moves
along with the learning and the learner.
Field activity
refers to acts, performances and behaviour in which people perceive, examine and make meaning for their current and future understanding
in their natural environments (disciplinary activity and daily events of living and working). These ďŹeld activities can be inspired and guided
by formal settings such as lessons at school or disciplinary practice, or they can relate to informal or practical learning opportunities, such
as professional development, workplace activities, or personal learning activities.
Learning Variables
Learning space
infers a secondary capacity of the learner to identify signiďŹcance or potential signiďŹcance in the open landscape and to begin to enact a
learning process to extract or generate that meaning. In short, it involves seeing learning potential in the open landscape. The unique
open space will become the learning space in accordance with the learner´s attunement and vice versa - the learner´s alignment activates
how the open space become a learning space for her/him.
Simultaneity
is the belief that multiple learning engagements and processes are occurring simultaneously in open learning environments, suggesting the
need for a perceptual sensitivity to their machinations as well as to their capacity for altering the perception of the open environment. The
deďŹnitions presented in this glossary all assume that simultaneity is a constant for open learners and must be acknowledged pedagogically.
Layeredness
refers to the simultaneous reality of contemporary life. The layered world includes the emergence of linear, pointillist, cyclical and durative times,
the complexity of physical, virtual and social places, and the humaneness of local, global, individual and social relations of people. Together they
constitute an ontology of simultaneity. It is the environment for unique open and learning spaces.

Aesthetic literacy
is the act of transforming space into learning space. It is a mix of perception, intellect, and emotion, an understanding that all environments are
pregnant with the possibility of learning, if we adjust ourselves towards receiving it. It is much more than the capacity for communicating through
or as a result of art. It is a process of alignment and attunement.
