Listening Listening Listening is a two-stranded approach to sound and listening in two different settings and environments.
When we listen to a sound, even if you and I hear the same source, the way we perceive it is completely individual. Our backgrounds, our age and even our mood affect the way we make sense of it. This is what makes sound art especially interesting for me. We all hear this but does it mean something different to each of us?
Listening Listening Listening is based on this question in two strands.
The first strand is a multichannel installation in the Gallery Space of the Goethe Institute Ireland. As this work is a fixed work it is much more individual, most likely listened to alone or in silence with others.
The second strand is a live performance in the Auditorium space of the Goethe Institute Ireland. This second strand focuses more on collective listening and the uniqueness of experiencing something together but having an individual perception of it.
Both works are made using sound produced from hand coded patches in Supercollider and Pure data. Both open source softwares.
This work features a sample of ‘What Will We Do When We Have No Money’ played on the concertina by Joseph Julian Grace.
Performance: Saturday 7th November
A cyberdeck is a niche hobby originally inspired by cyberpunk fiction, such as the works of William Gibson. They can be as simple or as complex as you’d like and you can use them for anything!
Get hands-on creating a portable, personalised computer inspired by the DIY tech and cyberpunk worlds. You don’t need to be a programmer, engineer or hardware expert. Annike will guide you through the process, so curiosity is more important than technical experience. Cyberdecks can be practical, strange, beautiful, excessive or completely impractical. This is as much about design and creative experimentation as it is about computing. Rather than treating computers as sealed black boxes, you’ll get closer to the hardware and start understanding how different components fit together.

The Garden of d@ta is an installation made of sculptures, performance-vidéos and sound that immerse you in a very special data center in 2050 - built by Maureen Morin, an eccentric tech entrepreneur. The installation is also the set of the performance by the same name.
Over 4 hours, participants learn to build their own mesh network communication device, gaining fundamental skills in electronics, listening and de-centralised infrastructure.
Working together with Synthesize_Her facilitators Alba Molina and Viva Dean, the workshop explores how devices can communicate directly with one another outside conventional, centralised networks. Through making, listening and experimentation, participants will get an introduction to the possibilities of DIY communication technologies and alternative ways of thinking about how we connect.
No previous experience required and electronics provided.
Commissioned by Beta Festival.
Our relationship with technology is a profoundly wasteful one, our devices are made to be disposable, our services powered by polluting datacenters and our apps and tools now full of so-called "AI". Permacomputing is a movement of sustainability and resilience in technology, seeking to question our relationship with it through a practice of community and practical experimentation.
Through this workshop, we will contemplate permacomputing and our engagement with technology through the process of creating a webring, a social assemblage of websites. Together, we will learn how to build a website using HTML and CSS. Then we will explore sustainable ways in which we can host and share content, using things like solar power, recycled phones and more.
Creator Bio: Evan (He/They) and Colm (He/Him) join their practices via the idea of Permacomputing. Their individual practices deal with small-scale computing, solar powered systems, and repurposed hardware. Together, they propose a Permacomputing Hub for Ireland, where some of the most outrageous technological excesses take place. In the future, the Irish Permacomputing Hub hopes to welcome other practionners who work with similar concerns, whether they describe this as permacomputing or not.
UNDERGROWTH is an artist-led, immersive experience exploring the relationship between nature, technology and each other and what becomes possible when we create together.
For one evening, The Cube at Project Arts Centre becomes a living environment of darkness, sound, light, organic structures and moving-image. Visitors enter an evolving landscape of roots, branches, fabric and projected imagery, moving through different states of discovery, performance and collective play.
The experience unfolds around a central Tree of Life and a live modular synth performance, with sound, light and visuals responding to the environment and the people within it. Through movement, touch and interaction, visitors actively shape what happens around them. Their bodies, faces and actions become part of a constantly transforming visual world, creating connections between individual and collective experience.
At its heart, UNDERGROWTH asks what happens when we stop being passive spectators and become active participants in creating the world around us. Rather than presenting a fixed vision of the future, the work creates a space to experiment with new ways of connecting, collaborating and imagining what we could create together.
It is an invitation to step inside, interact, contribute and see what emerges.
