His practice is centred around exploring the indosyncratic nature of the human-machine realtionship through an investigation of computational histories, practices, and technolgoies such as - Creative Coding, Artificial Intelligence, Simulations, and Embedded Computing. -Cailean holds a BSc in Computer Science (2019), and a MA in Art & Technology (2022) from the University of Limerick, where he is currently pursuing his PhD in AI & Media Art, funded by CRT-AI. +Cailean holds a BSc in Computer Science (2019), and a MA in Art & Technology (2022) from the University of Limerick, where he is currently pursuing his PhD in AI & Media Art, funded by CRT-AI. His current research is focused on areas in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybernetics. -In his work, Cailean explores not only the technical aspects of technology, but also uses it as a tool to highlight the hidden processes and idiosyncratic nature of the human-machine relationship. In doing so, he hopes to reimagine and explore speculative realities that show the potential of emerging technology to be (re)shaped and (re)defined - ranging from Artificial Intelligence, to Creative Coding, and Computer Graphics. - -Currently, he is exploring emergent behaviours of virtual life through Evolutionary Computation and Reinforcement Learning. Additionally, he is experimenting with simulations as a medium for these investigations into embodied intelligence, and its potential impact on various ecologies, as it slowly becomes more ubiquitous.
