Robert Collins is an artist and creative technician based in Ireland, and is currently working as a PhD researcher in Contestable Design at the Umeå Institute of Design.

His work explores the inherent noise and saturation of information in contemporary society, through speculative objects and software.

He holds an MSc in Interactive Media, where he explored the creation of spaces for adversarial discussion and common ground.

He also facilitates artworks for new-media artists and produces ArtScience exhibitions across the world on behalf of Science Gallery International and others.
