i want to translate the insights and experiences of the visual culture, the medium of TV, print press, photography and music that formed me personally as well as shapes collective perception of reality and, even, often contradicts it. I am interested in the promises of the future of the 1990s and 2000s (Mark Fisher’s Lost Futures, 2014). When technology meant a promise, not a problem. I am interested not only in the content of those promises itself, but rather in the transformation and progression of the idea of the so imagined future up until today.
I am interested to investigate the recent societal changes of Lithuania through the logic of medium. I examine how the TV medium contributed to the ‘heating up’ (McLuhan’s term) of Lithuanian society in the 1990-2004. Now I am in a dialogue with Gintaras Šeputis, a movie director and communication consultant.
i feel that i am becoming. that recently i started thinking and that gives me more awareness of my surroundings, my origins. i am from Lithuania but at the same time I am from the internet (i have been online since I was 8 years old). Marshall McLuhan says that today’s children are being brought up not be parents but by media. i am a product of media but at the same time i produce media. i engage in media. i hate media. i love media.
to be continued in a never ending loop...
