<p>A grassroot organisation of artists, creative technologist, designers, and educators focused on supporting a vibrant new media arts community in Ireland -- through our events, newsletter, and other activities.</p>
<p>That’s it for now! The newsletter gets sent out 1st and 15th of every month and we post open calls and events as they come in on our <ahref='https://www.instagram.com/conceptnull/'target='_blank'>Instagram</a> so be sure to follow us there.</p>
<p>​</p>
<p>Again, thank you for all of your support as we continue to grow our project with the help of a great community and, as we always say, we would love to hear your thoughts, projects, events or other open opportunities so drop us an email.</p>
<p>At the start of the summer, we had the pleasure of chatting with Paul, Tom and Aisling who are current facilitators of the Dublin Art & Technology Association. D.A.T.A has created a platform for artists, makers and thinkers to share knowledge about digital cultures and practices in Ireland since its genesis in 2002.</p>
<p>In our conversation, we had the opportunity to touch on topics such as D.A.T.A's identity, how it has evolved over the years, and a deeper look into their approach behind the process of curating & organising events.</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy the deeply insightful conversation with D.A.T.A, while having some fun navigating its latent space!</p>
<pclass="tech-about">The website has been designed to visualise the interview in a linear and non-linear format. The interview was processed through a machine/natural language processing algorithm, which ranked each segment of text against various topics that surfaced during the interview.</p>
<pclass="tech-about">As a result, the algorithm created a high-dimensional version of the interview, which is commonly referred to as the latent space. Once created, the machine's multidimensional understanding of the text was flattened using a t-SNE algorithm, producing the 2D mapping of the interview.</p>
