Beta is a new festival of art and technology, co-founded by The Digital Hub and Aisling Murray. Over 2 weeks in November, Ireland’s research and digital art communities come together.
Beta makes new technologies and complex themes accessible to the public and critically reflects on Ireland’s role as a global tech hub. Taking Ireland’s role as a central node in today's networked world as a starting point this festival showcases and celebrates Ireland’s research and artistic communities through a combination of creativity, debate and experimentation.
Beta allows members of the public to engage playfully and critically with new technologies essentially beta testing ethical issues facing society public through exhibitions, screenings, panel discussions and workshops.
The festival creates a network, international platform and anchor for the community of digital artists and researchers based in Ireland. Providing commissioning, upskilling, residency and mentorship opportunities as well as nurturing a creative pipeline and creating pathways for industry collaboration.
The programme explores AI and creativity, immersive technologies and big ethical questions on diverse topics including the environmental impacts of our networked society, data equity, web3 and the third quantum revolution.
