Beta Festival

Various Locations, Friday 6th November - Sunday 22nd November

This year, Beta Festival explores how technology is reshaping how we sense, perceive and understand the world around us. Bringing together artists working across installation, performance, sound, games and digital media, the programme asks what happens when we de-centre the human perspective and begin to consider the intelligence of landscapes, plants, animals and machines.

Through immersive experiences and participatory artworks, audiences are invited to encounter technologies as systems that shape our relationships with each other and with the environments we inhabit.
From biofeedback and environmental sensing to speculative ecologies and multispecies collaboration, this year's festival explores the entangled boundaries between the digital and the living. Featuring 14 new artworks across Dublin city from national and international artists and the Irish premiere of two award-winning performances at Project Arts Centre in addition to two international premieres of work developed through The F Word programme.
