In
the Stratus project we use Virtual Reality (VR) to enhance
visitor experiences at Downpatrick Head and other tourist
sites along the Wild Atlantic Way . We have developed a VR
prototype solution that enhances and integrates exploration
of cultural and natural heritage. This allows us to tell the
any stories from the ages of history at Downpatrick Head.
We
have designed collaborative heritage VR ahere multiple users
can communicate within the same Virtual Environment. We aim
to encourage collaboration between onsite and offsite participants.
We
will use VR to connect cultural and natural heritage sites
to enhance visitor experiences along the Wild Atlantic Way
and beyond.

Exhibition
in Ballinglen Gallery
Moving
Still, a solo exhibition of work by Kate MacDonagh will run
until April 20th 2022 at The Ballinglen Gallery, Main Street,
Ballycastle, Co. Mayo F26 X5N3.
Kate
MacDonagh is an abstract artist whose work explores dualities
of light and dark, scale and ephemerality, stillness and movement,
the spectral and the material. Since spending time in Japan
throughout the last six years, Kate's primary focus is on
water-based woodcut (Mokuhanga) and watercolour painting.
This exhibition includes work made while on her first residency
at Ballinglen in 2021.
‘This abstract image contains something deeply human, an expression
of energy existing beyond the surface. It seems both static
and full of motion, like a living presence.' – Hugo Hamilton
