Our partners’ event: Beta Festival 2026 – Ireland’s Festival of Art and Technology

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, AI 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.

6–22 November 2026
Dublin, Ireland
