Funeral for Ashes: Combining Art, Ecology, and Immersive Technology [Nov 18, Online and in person, @12pm]. University of Galway Centre for Creative Technologies.

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.

Analyzing Nature-Culture Entanglements at Scale: The Case for Computational Environmental Humanities

The Digital Humanities Network at the University of Potsdam cordially invites you to the next lecture in the ‘Code & Culture’ talk series.

Our first guest is Manuel Burghardt (University of Leipzig), with a talk titled “Analyzing Nature-Culture Entanglements at Scale: The Case for Computational Environmental Humanities“ (full abstract here). The lecture will take place on Monday 17 November 2025, 17:00 (CET), online via Zoom. 

Please register here to get the Zoom link: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/digital-humanities/activities/code-culture-lecture-series/registration.

This semester, we will have a special focus on digital environmental humanities, preparing the ground for our “Environments in and as Networks” Hackathon (Potsdam, 15-17.04.2026; more details and registration: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/digital-humanities/events/environmental-digital-humanities-hackathon). 

Generating Futures: Using AI to Imagine Sustainable Places [Nov 11-14, in person, Galway]

Generating Futures: Using AI to Imagine Sustainable Places

Dates: 11th – 14th November, 2025

Location: Studio 3, O’Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance, University of Galway

Can Generative AI help us imagine a more sustainable world? Generating Futures brings together communities, artists, geographers and climate scientists to co-create visions of a sustainable future using the power of AI. Funded by Research Ireland as part of the Science Week 2025 programme, this series of interactive workshops are facilitated by PhD researchers based at the Centre for Creative Technologies.

Workshops:


Reimagining Nuns Island: A Speculative Design Walk

Collect Your Own Small & Local Dataset

Envisioning Future Placemaking through AI Visualisation Technologies

Reference Extraction at the Intersection of AI Research and the Digital Humanities: Validation, Interoperability and Collaboration [Nov 4, hybrid]

Reference Extraction at the Intersection of AI Research and the Digital Humanities: Validation, Interoperability and Collaboration

This informal meeting is meant mainly to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of data extraction, artificial intelligence, and the digital humanities. In the workshop, we continue to address the challenge of extracting heterogeneous references from texts, particularly from historical documents and humanities or legal scholarship. This second workshop focuses on three key themes emerging from the 2023 discussions:

  1. Validation: How can we evaluate and benchmark the performance of different reference extraction tools and approaches, particularly with large language models?
  2. Interoperability: How can we ensure that different tools, datasets, and workflows can work together effectively through shared data models and formats?
  3. Collaboration: How can researchers, developers, and institutions work together to advance the field of reference extraction?

The program is available online at: https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/workshop-2025/programme/

The event will take place in-person and online. Register at https://plan.events.mpg.de/e/refextract25 

A link for online attendance will be sent to registered participants before the event. Also, even if you cannot attend, but want to be informed about updates, materials being made available, etc. you can notify us about this at the registration link.
