The Arts Incubator

Winnipeg, Manitoba

The project is grounded in a dynamic process of collaborative engagement and capacity building, utilizing arts-based research methodologies to ensure the work is both relevant and empowering. A key focus is Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), which positions young people as leaders in investigating their own economic realities and co-designing their futures. Through a series of co-design workshops, digital storytelling projects, and community forums, ECO-STAR North facilitates intergenerational knowledge transfer, connecting youth with Elders and established creators. This hands-on, community-led approach ensures the resulting toolkit is not an academic exercise, but a living, practical resource built by and for Northern innovators, strengthening a resilient and interconnected creative ecosystem.

Each Friday, we’re diving into an exciting aspect of our marketing and communications skills development: generating stunning pizza photography using advanced AI tools like DALL-E 3 and the OpenAI Researcher Access Program. This journey not only enhances our digital literacy but also adds a creative flair to our virtual food designs.

Unlocking the Power of AI for Food Photography

Learning to use DALL-E 3 for food photography is more than just a technical exercise; it’s a transformative experience in digital literacy. With AI tools, we can create high-resolution, visually captivating images of pizza that showcase every delicious detail—from the gooey cheese and crispy pepperoni to the perfectly baked crust. The ability to generate such realistic and enticing visuals helps us craft compelling marketing materials and elevate our communications strategies.

Here’s a few of the prompts and images we experimented with:

The Prompt We Used: Capture an ultra high-resolution, close-up photograph of a freshly baked pepperoni pizza. Focus on the gooey, melted mozzarella cheese stretching as a slice is lifted, highlighting the rich, golden-brown crust. Showcase the crispy, slightly curled pepperoni slices with their edges charred to perfection. Ensure the details of the cheese texture and pepperoni edges are clear and vivid, with a glistening sheen on the cheese. The image should evoke a sense of deliciousness and indulgence, perfect for marketing and magazine advertising.

Our latest pizza shot, crafted with DALL-E 3, demonstrates how AI tools transform digital literacy into vibrant, mouth-watering visuals. From imagining unique toppings to perfecting every detail, this image showcases the exciting fusion of creativity and technology in food photography. Dive into the future of visual storytelling and see how innovative tools like DALL-E 3 can elevate your culinary creations! Photo: Tony Eetak, Niriqatiginnga Youth, Arts and Media.

Our Prompt: Create an ultra high-resolution, close-up shot of a rustic, artisanal pizza, brought to life by DALL-E 3. Emphasize the charming imperfections and earthy textures of the hand-tossed dough, bubbling cheese, and crispy, rustic toppings. Capture the warm, inviting ambiance of a traditional pizzeria, with a focus on the authentic details that make this pizza feel homemade and heartwarming. Celebrate the fusion of creative flair and digital literacy as AI tools transform our rustic pizza vision into a stunning, visual delight.

Rustic Charm Meets Digital Precision: Our AI-generated pizza image, crafted with DALL-E 3, captures the cozy, homemade feel of an artisanal pizza. From the hand-tossed crust to the bubbling cheese and crispy toppings, this visual celebrates the warmth and authenticity of traditional pizzeria fare, elevated through the lens of modern digital artistry.

Multi-agent systems rely on specialist agents — AI systems dedicated to specific types of work. These can include text generation, image synthesis, data analysis, or even music composition. Each agent is designed to perform a narrow but complex task exceptionally well.

AI Agents: Specialists at Work

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg November 12, 2025
At its core, an AI “agent” is not sentient. It’s a system capable of perceiving its environment, planning a sequence of actions, and executing those actions to reach a goal. In a multi-agent system, these behaviors are distributed across the team.
