Cailean has completed a B.Sc in Computer Systems from the University of Limerick in 2019, and a
M.A in Art and Technology in 2021. His practice critically engages with technologies deeply
embedded in our society, exposing underlying structures and hidden processes; exploring the
relationship we have formed with machines and their wider ecological impact. Caileans most
recent projects explore the developing ecology of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

I have always been interested in digital technologies and I have tried to embody this interest in my
practice. My practice looks at how various systems that we use in our everyday life operate and
abstracts that knowledge to then translate it into various iterations that utilise skills and modalities
from a variety of different mediums. Currently, I am most interested in learning about Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms and our relationship with this growing ecology. I am also
interested in finding new avenues for Human-Machine collaboration.
My most recent work, titled (O)MACHINE is a real-time generative video, sound and text installation
which explores the underlying processes and anthropomorphisation of artificial intelligent systems. The
work observes an AI/Machine/Oracle roaming a virtual void, trapped in its digital body as the machine
reflects on its existence and role in the physical world.
I recently worked as a Creative Technologist and AI Researcher for Soyun Park and during that time I
worked on multiple projects such as “Fantasia Realism”(2022, Rewire Festival) and “Volumetric
Interviews”(2022, RGBdog) which explored storytelling through machine learning, and volumetric
capturing tools, respectively.
