Cailean Finn is a media artist, creative technologist, and researcher from Waterford, Ireland. His practice approaches computational systems as a source of poetic material, allowing form, image, and behaviour to be discovered through open dialogue with the tools that he creates. His work involves a mix of hardware and software-based practices spanning Creative Coding, Electronics, Game/Web design, and Artificial Intelligence. Currently, his work is specifically focused on the aesthetics of behaviour in Artificial Life systems.

Recent exhibitions include The Garden - Vasulka Kitchen Brno (2026), Power Creep at SEED, Beta Festival (2026), Foolish Flame at Deep Space 8K, Ars Electronica (2025), Moloch at ‘The OBJECT Itself’ as part of the Digital Art in Ireland Symposium (2024), and Stubborn Vectors at Local Artists Network, Beta Festival (2024).
