BETA - A festival of critical inquiry in art and technology

BETA is a festival of critical inquiry focusing on digital technology, art and science. Taking Ireland’s role as a central node in the global infrastructure of networked communications as a starting point, this festival will showcase and celebrate Ireland’s research and artistic communities through a combination of creativity, debate and experimentation. In doing so, this event will increase tech and digital literacy in the general public through a programme of panel discussions, exhibitions, screenings and workshops. It will also create a network for digital artists and researchers based in Ireland and internationally who are working both within and outside of formal academic and artistic institutions.
