With a total of 13 works created with the support of Alt Lab, artists and researchers will be presenting themselves at the renowned media art festival “Ars Electronica” in Linz from September 6 to 10, 2023. The installations, video tutorials and participatory events are the result of the Alt Lab Tutorial Series, which was developed in 2022.
Alt Lab Tutorial Series are about instructions on how to make an art project or conduct a science experiment. The ideas presented here provoke new ideas and provide a methodology for implementing them. As a result of the tutorial series, Mindaugas Gapševičius present his installation Interfaces for Boris and Mindaugas. The installation consists of human- and dog-sized objects, interfaces and 3D tutorials explaining their use to create a bond between the dog and its host. Brigita Kasperaitė combines glass and stone objects in her installation Lakus. The poetic gesture makes us forget the destructive effect it is meant to achieve, and emphasizes the rapid evaporation that could befall the two objects years from now.
Presented artists: Gabija Bubnytė, Liucija Dervinytė, Mindaugas Gapševičius, Jan Glöckner, Brigita Kasperaitė, Vincenta Mikulėnaite, Kira O’Reilly, Gabrielius Klemas, Jolanta Sendaitė-Paulauskienė, Linas Tamošaitis, Lolita Tučinskaitė, Kristina Zakutauskaite, Maria Safronova Wahlström, and interdisciplinary group of creative practitioners exploring the “critical network of care” (Marinos Koutsomichalis, Mindaugas Gapsevicius, Alessandro Ludovico, Josefin lindebrink, Valeria Graziano, Jenny Pickett, Alexia Achilleos, Eric Lewis).
Alt lab fills the gap between the raised awareness of environmental changes and the Anthropocene, artistic practices, scientific experiments, and daily habits around our kitchens. People in the lab share their knowledge, de-mystify scientific experiments, and sophisticated artistic mythos.
Alt Lab Tutorial Series are developed by friends of the Alt Lab, a non-disciplinary research laboratory at Institutio Media. Members of the lab are looking for unique solutions to implement their ideas. The production of works was supported by the Lithuanian Council for Culture, and the Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association.
