Inner Feelings of The Spectator 2024
This project utilises EEG technology to track artists’ inner states during interactions at events like the Supermarket art fair, offering insights into their emotions. As the artist, wearing the colours of Lithuanian National Flag, walks through the exhibition, her inner conditions are transformed into the colours of the Aurora Borealis, providing viewers with a visual representation of her mental state. The performance took place at Supermarket Art Fair, Stockholm 2024.
Facilitating as Creative Practice 2024
Discovering methodologies and emergent techniques in facilitating, and exploring its role as a catalyst for institutional imagination.

The performance took place at Fontys Academy of the Arts, entrance to The Chapel, Bisschop Zwijsenstraat 7, Tilburg.
Techno-voyourism into a body of Spectator 2023
Have you ever thought about what an artist feels when talking to colleagues or looking at their artworks? For example, when an artist observes small details in another artist's work, reads the text describing the concept or idea displayed alongside the artwork, or engages in conversations with colleagues in various languages, such as English and Lithuanian. Even translating from one language to another during a conversation – what happens in the artist's body? Art fairs, like during ArtVilnius2023, involve unexpected interactions. Over the three days of the event, hundreds of viewers, including colleagues and art fair visitors, are encountered. By combining art and science, it is possible to provide viewers with a live opportunity to observe changes in internal states during such interactions. Therefore, with an artist, you can not only talk but also see what they feel at every moment of the conversation.

Moss 2022
"Moss" is an art performance that explores themes of generational trauma and the connection between nature and memory. The performance centers around the use of moss as a metaphor for the way in which the past is intertwined with the present and the way in which it shapes our identity. Through the use of Moss, the artist aims to create a dialogue about the intergenerational effects of trauma and the importance of acknowledging and remembering the past.
