 ative Technologies at University of Galway. Further information about the

 ng/masterclasses/  \n\n In this masterclass\, Aisling Phelan will present 
 an overview of her artistic practice\, tracing the research\, processes\, 
 and technological explorations that shape her work in relation to identity
 \, corporeality\, and digital representation. Drawing on recent research i
 nto DeepFakes\, doppelgangers\, and robotics\, the session will also invit
 e participants to engage in speculative thinking around possible futures s
 haped by emerging technologies\, using fiction and open-ended questioning 
 as tools to reflect on contemporary technological anxieties. \n\n Image Cr
 edit: Mark Stedman \n\n Speaker Bio \n\n  \nAisling Phelan is an Irish mul
 tidisciplinary artist exploring digital doubles\, speculative futures and 
 human-machine interactions and entanglements. Through 3D animation\, AI\, 
 video\, sculpture\, and live interactive technologies\, her work explores 
 what it means to be human in an era of rapid technological advancement and
  pervasive algorithmic influence. Drawing from a transhumanist and specula
 tive fiction perspective\, Phelan explores how far we are willing to go in
  the pursuit of self-optimisation and the potential costs of such advances
 . Fusing the intimate with the artificial\, her practice confronts the sed
 uctive promise of transcendence and enhancement\, creating space for refle
 ction on the role of current digital infrastructures in shaping how we und
 erstand ourselves and others.\n  \n\n Join online \n\n  \nTo join via Zoom
