Artist Talk: Cailean Finn

We invite you to an artist talk with Cailean Finn, a resident of Vašulka Kitchen Brno & BAiR 2025. Join us on Thursday, November 13, at 5 PM at Vašulka Kitchen Brno.

CAILEAN FINN (b. 1997)

He is an Irish media artist, researcher, and creative technologist from Waterford, Ireland. His practice investigates the idiosyncratic nature of human–machine relationships, drawing from computational histories and engaging with technologies and practices such as creative coding, artificial intelligence/life, game development, and electronics. Through these inquiries, he reflects on how machines mediate agency, perception, and interaction across digital cultures.

His current research explores robotics, artificial intelligence, and artificial life, with a particular focus on emergent behaviour as a material for interaction. He approaches these themes through experimentation, hacking, and critical reflection, creating works that blend computation, embodiment, and inquiry into human–machine relations.

Cailean holds a BSc in Computer Science (2019) and an MA in Art & Technology (2022) from the University of Limerick, where he is presently pursuing a PhD in Media Art. He is also a member of CONCEPTNULL, an artist-led, community-driven organisation that publishes a bi-monthly newsletter and organises events to support accessible platforms for new media arts in Ireland.
