ATU Galway City (Wellpark Road)

TULCA is pleased to present the Artist Talks Series as part of the 2025 programme, Strange lands still bear common ground, curated by Beulah Ezeugo. Continuing its ongoing partnership with the ATU School of Design and Creative Arts, TULCA will host four talks throughout October and November 2025. The series invites audiences to engage directly with artists and the curator, offering insights into their practices and the ideas shaping this year’s festival. All talks take place at ATU Wellpark Road, Galway. Admission is free and open to the public. Artist Tom O’Dea will present a performance lecture combining readings, moving image, and reflection on his work developed for TULCA 2025. This hybrid talk expands on his interest in human relations with animals and artificial intelligence, and the role of power in these relationships. Tom O’Dea is an artist who works with sculpture, media and social practice to explore how different forms of knowledge impact upon our ways of acting and being the world. His work interrogates the political implications of knowledge production, practices of computation and organisation in contemporary society. His work explores “computation” beyond that which occurs on electronic machines to a series of knowledge practices that are connected to intertwining histories of scientific legitimation, bureaucracy and colonial expansion. Tom is a studio lecturer in Sculpture and Expanded Practices in the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. He is member of the Orthogonal Methods Group (OMG), an art-research group, one of the organisers of Dublin Art and Technology Association (DATA) and an member of Dublin Digital Radio.
