Concept Null is currently run by [[Róisín Berg]], [[Cailean Finn]], [[Walter Nied]] and [[Scott Robinson]] and is funded currently by our volunteered time and community donations.

	~~We are underway with running meetups around~~ the ~~island~~ of ~~Ireland~~ every ~~three months to hold space for artists to share the work~~ and ~~process with~~ other artists in their area and open a space where they can share ideas and meet others to further their network. This process doubles as a pilot in investigating the need for a regular space that should be held in each city and what benefit this has for the community.		Currently, we publish a newsletter on the 1st and 15th of every month that highlights events, exhibitions, workshops, open calls, studio vacancies, and any other tidbits of interest for the Irish new media art community.

	~~We actively talk~~ to ~~people~~ in the ~~Arts Council~~, ~~academia~~ and ~~working artists to be able to get~~ a ~~picture of what is happening in~~ the ~~field of~~ art ~~and technology~~ in Ireland ~~and be able to relay this to the people who need to know, the artists~~.		Alongside this, we organise and host meetups that offer a space for artists to share their work and process with others in the community. By hosting such events, it doubles as a pilot to investigate the need for and benefits of a communal space for the new media art community in Ireland.

	~~Each~~ of ~~us individually~~ are active members of the [[Digital Arts Ireland Discord]] and as an organisation we help out in hosting ‘Monday Meetups’ ~~happening~~ virtually on the first Monday of every month. ~~We also~~ stream and connect our physical meetups to the Discord so people ~~can remote~~ present and tune in if they can’t make it physically.		Through regular conversations with members from various funding bodies, art ogranisations, academia, and working artists, we aim to gain insight into the field of art and technology in Ireland. Our goal is to relay this information to the artists who need it.
