Showcasing at Godocon 2026
I presented a talk “Unlocking Student Creativity @ TU Dublin with Godot” at GodotCon 2026 in April 2026 in Amsterdam. I also showcased Skuarewave and other projects from TU Dublin, with my collaborator Darren Fitzpatrick. I referenced Randy Paush’s – Achieving your Childhood Dreams and quoted Terrence McKenna in my talk!

The more extreme, inventive, and avant-garde of the VR constructions are likely to resemble experiences with psychedelic plants rather than more conventionalized forms of art. The doorway to the realms of dream and the unconscious will be opened, and what had been merely symbolic representations of eccentric individual experience will become that experience itself.

Our project incorporated holographic step sequencers, reatime audio effects processed from the microphone on the Quest 3 and passed to an external speaker, dancing aliens, sound orbs playing the words of Timothy Leary, live Traditional Irish Music played on the flute and artistic projections of my brain patterns captured on EEG:
