His practice is centred around investigating computational design, histories, and processes embedded within socio-technological systems.</p> <p>Cailean holds a BSc in Computer Science (2019), and a MA in Art & Technology (2022) from the University of Limerick.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. Cailean is also a member of CONCEPTNULL, a community-based organisation, which runs a bi-monthly newsletter and hosts events with a focus on New Media Art in Ireland.</p> </div> <div id="social-container"> <div>caileannn@gmail.com</div> <div>cv <a href="some-path" target="_blank">↯</a></div> <div>instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cailean.finn/" target="_blank">↯</a></div> <div>git <a href="https://git.fioruil.ie/" target="_blank">↯</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a><span id="monster"> <span id="fire-1">🔥</span> <span>🔥╰(＃°Д°)╯🔥</span> <span id="fire-3">🔥</span> </span> </a> </div> <script src="js/mob.js"></script> </div> </body> </html>
