This July I will be building a temporary art pavilion in Wicklow, Ireland. It will celebrate the folk traditions and technologies of the plant known in the Irish language as aiteann (aka gorse/furze/whin).

I will be building the pavilion from the wood and thorny leaves of the plant. Aiteann was once used in thatch along with other materials like straw and willow. I have been learning the process from a thatcher named Anthony.

I'm giving an online talk this evening at 7pm IST. Gríosach: Fire, Tradition and Art in the Irish Uplands. Please come if available!

I'll cover the heritage of growing and tending the plant 'aiteann' (gorse) and how technology, colonialism and culture changed a valued crop into a 'weed'. I'll also be showing drawings and screening two films that I made as an artistic response.

Last event of the Síolta Glasa project as part of Culture Night in #Limerick Ireland tonight. I will present a string, timber and net art installation as a conversation starter about how we think about clothing from the perspectives of climate, technology, colonialism and history.

I'll also be performing some string figures live in the space!

#Google once promised to run “carbon free 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year” by 2030. But five years later the company has quietly deleted its net zero pledge from its sustainability website rebranding the section and moving the goal into an appendix.

The shift comes as #AI data centres drive surging energy use. Google’s power consumption jumped 26% in 2024 nearly matching #Ireland ’s and the #Trump administration pressures #corporations to roll back #climate goals.

Tomorrow at 7pm in Roundwood, Wicklow I will give a talk for Heritage Week 'From Furze to Flame: Drawing Stories From Our Uplands'. This will be about fire management practices in the past in Ireland, and how I made art from research about this.

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

I haven't participated in #FensterFreitag / #WindowFriday in ages. Thought I'd post this photo of a corner at Nancy's Bar in #Ardara, Co. #Donegal, #Ireland today. This was in a room separate from the bar/main dining room and we were the only ones seated there. We liked it that way. #IntrovertTravels
