Beta is a new festival of art and technology critically engaging with the impact of emerging technologies on society. Taking Ireland’s role as a central node in today's wired world as a starting point, Beta will showcase and celebrate Ireland’s research and artistic communities through a combination of creativity, debate and experimentation. Beta allows members of the public to engage playfully and critically with new technologies essentially beta testing ethical issues facing society.

The 2024 edition of Beta will explore a range of themes relating to AI and the politics of
|
|
resistance in an algorithmic age. Through a programme of exhibitions, workshops and
|
|
talks, the festival will interrogate what kinds of powers reside in technology.

Highlights include two exhibitions: Unsettling the Algorithm: Seeds of Resistance
|
|
curated by Aisling Murray and Nora O’Murchú, featuring Basil Al Rawi, Firas Shehadeh
|
|
and Winnie Soon, and “Local Artist Networks” - an exhibition showing new works from
|
|
Aisling Phelan, Cailean Finn & Screen Service.
