Cailean Finn is a Media Artist and Creative Technologist from Waterford, Ireland. His practice is centred around investigating computational design, histories, and processes embedded within socio-technological systems.

Cailean holds a BSc in Computer Science (2019), and a MA in Art & Technology (2022) from the University of Limerick, where he is currently pursuing his PhD in AI & Media Art, funded by CRT-AI.

In his work, Cailean explores not only the technical aspects of technology, but also uses it as a tool to highlight the hidden processes and idiosyncratic nature of the human-machine relationship. In doing so, he hopes to reimagine and explore speculative realities that show the potential of emerging technology to be (re)shaped and (re)defined - ranging from Artificial Intelligence, to Creative Coding, and Computer Graphics.

Currently, he is exploring emergent behaviours of virtual life through Evolutionary Computation and Reinforcement Learning. Additionally, he is experimenting with simulations as a medium for these investigations into embodied intelligence, and its potential impact on various ecologies, as it slowly becomes more ubiquitous. Cailean is also a member of CONCEPTNULL, a community-based organisation, which runs a bi-monthly newsletter and hosts events with a focus on New Media Art in Ireland.
