Caitríona McAllister

Hi I’m Caitríona!

I am a creative technologist specialising in coding and digital art. Through the fusion of design, technology, and art, I strive to create immersive and interactive experiences that challenge traditional notions of art. My expertise in creative coding allows me to transform raw data into visually stunning and thought-provoking works of art, while seamlessly integrating emerging technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality. With a deep commitment to pushing the boundaries of art in the digital age, I invite viewers to reimagine the potential of technology as a medium of artistic expression, provoking conversations about the interplay between art, design, and the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Plastic Vortex

Plastic Vortex takes a deep dive into ocean plastics and marine debris caused by human negligence. The project is inspired by NASA satellite data that tracks the movement of micro-plastics in a densely polluted area of the Pacific Ocean, also known as the ‘Great Pacific Garbage’.

This series of interactive visuals include an audio and motion reactive installation piece, supporting editorial and augmented reality animation. The aim of this project is to raise awareness of human impact and plastics upon our oceans.

All materials used in the project consist of up-cycled mediums and focus on environmentally conscious practices.

The Mario Method

The Mario Method is an interactive 3D website that explores digital landscapes, immersion, and gamification. Developed using React Three Fiber, this platform provides an immersive experience for users to interact and navigate. 

The Mario Method combines nostalgia, innovative technology, and a gamified approach to redefine the concept of interactive websites. The website invites users to contemplate the notion of digital environments as tangible and interactive spaces.

Elevator Conversations

Elevator conversations explores audio reactive and visually responsive animations using creative coding and conversational data.

The project invites the viewer to question ‘how do we capture audio, how can we visualise conversations and is it possible to visually depict content and context?’ Elevator conversations investigates these questions using particle systems, perils noise flow fields and API's to source active conversational data.
