Funeral for Ashes: Combining Art, Ecology, and Immersive Technology
Date & Time: 12pm, Tuesday 18th November
Location: Studio 3, O’Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance, University of Galway
Join artists Conor Maloney and John Conneely for an in-depth masterclass on Funeral for Ashes, an immersive installation honouring Ireland’s endangered ash woodlands. Blending TouchDesigner, Bitwig Studio, LiDAR, and photogrammetry, the work transforms ecological data and human movement into a living, responsive environment of sound and light.
In this session, the artists will unpack the creative and technical process behind the piece — from 3D scanning native trees to synchronising generative audio and real-time visuals — and discuss how digital art can serve as both ritual and environmental reflection.
