DATA image collage

The Dub­lin Art and Tech­no­logy Asso­ci­ation (DATA) was formed in March 2002 with the inten­tion of pro­mot­ing, explor­ing, dis­cuss­ing, and exhib­it­ing art and tech­no­logy in Ire­land and the world. Based in Dub­lin, DATA is built on the idea that col­lab­or­a­tion between artists, musi­cians, tech­no­lo­gists, and aca­demia is the key ele­ment in cre­at­ing a rich cul­tural envir­on­ment for the dia­logue and con­cep­tion of tech­no­lo­gical art prac­tices. We aim to cre­ate an informal space where art and tech­no­logy can meet and allow people from mul­tiple back­grounds to come together, col­lab­or­ate, and explore new dir­ec­tions and art practices.

DATA is ded­ic­ated to both show­cas­ing the work of tech­no­lo­gists, musi­cians, and artists using tech­no­logy as well as provid­ing a meet­ing point for the inter­sec­tion of these disciplines.

Our aim is to encour­age col­lab­or­a­tion between group and non/group mem­bers and sup­port an open forum for ideas, prac­tice, and present­a­tion. All forms of art and tech are wel­come for show­ing at the group events — from inter­act­ive work to net-based pro­jects to digital video to audio pro­jects to the­at­rical per­form­ances to install­a­tions — and we will be ask­ing for an open call for people to present their pro­jects at the vari­ous events and ven­ues around Dublin.

We are always look­ing for sub­mis­sions for DATA, pro­jects, pro­pos­als, work­shop ideas, and more! Please get in con­tact with us if you want to present at an event or have more ques­tions about DATA! Please use our online contact/submission form.
