Recently, she has creating installations that explore the use of technology and aim to be multi-sensory or interactive as seen in her recent Luas Line Commission ‘Streets’ at Connolly Station – an interactive video/light/sound installation created in collaboration with Sven Anderson (digital technologist and sound artist) and the community of North Inner City Dublin. ‘Streets’ is due to be launched in late 2006. Ciara has received awards, commissions, and residencies and has exhibited throughout Ireland, U.K. and internationally in China, Australia, Japan and in Iceland in 2007. |
The programmes have been customised to suit the needs
of the installations, as have the hardware solutions
we chose i.e. projectors, sound and interactive equipment, wireless technology, glass panels, etc.
These are some of my first major steps into
understanding digital technology, developing hardware
and software solutions and some of their manifold
applications in art."

Ciara O'Malley is a multi-media installation artist currently living in Belfast and working freelance in both the North and South of Ireland. 
Streets: "I employed the services of Sven Anderson, a digital
artist and we have used
v v v v, a video software programme developed by Meso,
Germany and pd (pure data) developed by Miller
Puckette, USA. Both the audio and visual are processed
in realtime.
Films: "This body of work is being developed around the theme of landscape, not just as a physical piece of scenery observable by the eye but also as a landscape of
imagination, emotion and intellect, which will explore
the boundaries between the perceivable, experienced,
sensed and imagined. I aim to explore the sense of
place and being within this." 
Photographs - 'Other Worlds': "This work aims to explore our sense of place and
being. In the same way a mirror reflects an image,
which can be viewed on many levels, my images aim to
reflect manifold levels of human consciousness, hoping
that the viewer can engage with the psychological and
analytical to the emotional and spiritual nature."
