The document discusses a project developed by Luca Damiani and Kat Braybrooke at Tate to use digital literacy and coding skills to empower audiences and connect technology to the arts. The project started with brainstorming how open source tools like Mozilla's Xray Goggles could be used for hands-on training and workshops at Tate, producing teaching resources and collaborating with other groups. The ongoing goal is to help audiences become more digitally literate by merging galleries' collections and data in creative new ways using open source methods.
