In the joint undergraduate and postgraduate show that takes place in the spaces of Atletika, Vilnius Gallery of Photography, and Rupert, the students of Photography, Media Art, and Animation aim to grasp the multiplicitous
possibilities offered by the question: ‘what if?’ The question opens up the new horizons and brings the promise of unlimited trajectories. The creative topics and expressions unfold in both physical and cybernetic spaces: from the ghostly volatile and breathable artwork that resides in the fluid space of gossip, through the kinetic 3D printed pieces of space dust, through the pre-programmed game of ’cause and effect’, through the ants that roam the sandy channels of the landscape, to the multi-channeled metamorphosis of rock music based on the principle of ‘zoom in/out’.
Some artworks walk along the conjoined corridors of imagination and reality, while others rethink the human-technology relations by stressing the importance of contingency, data poetics, intermediality and the ‘post-digital’. The young authors utilise a wide spectrum of technologies: prepared kinescopic monitors, LiDAR photogrammetry, VR, 2D drawings, etc. They turn towards the everyday with its artefacts and social contexts and dive into the immersive environments. The show is marked with the multifaceted pluralism of screens, monitors, sounds, objects, and photographs that seek to supplement, overlay and overtake each other.
