Boundaries of (In)Security

The event brings into focus the increasingly obliterating concepts of all kinds of boundaries – geographical, meteorological, and national, and their connection to the digital reality and biological world.

Artists on display are new media artist Mindaugas Gapševičius, video, installation and performance artist Kristina Inčiūraitė, sculptor and interdisciplinary artist Matas Janušonis, and animation director Margarita Valionytė. Included are also video conversations by the culture policy researcher Skaidra Trilupaitytė and video artist Tomas Andrijauskas. They talk to a female pilot, an expert of international relations, and to climate researchers.

The participating artists reflect on the situation of the state boundaries and air space, climate change, the devastation of the infrastructures of observation and surveillance, and of electricity supply – approaching these issues in terms of inner and external security and potential threats. They invite to contemplate the present-day perception of territory, connection and security, when boundaries are drawn not only on maps, but across the flow of information, atmosphere, and the human body.
