Beta: Dublin's festival of art and technology launches its 2025 edition today. I'll be presenting some work about the historical politics of subsea cable infrastructure at a panel discussion. My slot is in the conference tomorrow if anyone is in #dublin

I'm giving a talk this morning at TU Dublin for Visual Artists Ireland's annual 'Get Together'. The event is for artists and arts workers.

They gave me the working title 'Grassroots Technologies', and I decided to stick with that name, though I might end up talking more about roots than tech. More radicle, less radical.

I keep meaning, but repeatedly forget, to do an #introduction post.

My name's Bernard. I live in #Dublin #Ireland with my wife and 2 kids. I'm originally from #donegal and spent a few years in #cavan in my teens.

I work in #SRE

I started mastodon.ie in 2019 and had a couple of instances before that. I also run a #funkwhale instance at playitfaster.com

Beyond tech, I love music. Mostly #punk with some #folk (I played guitar for #belfast band Runnin' Riot for a bit) #mastodaoine
