GLITCHES INSIDE ATOMIC BUNKER ///
Audiovisual installation for my piece “Crispy Grass Walk” using vintage PC monitors and a wall projection. The installation occurred inside a post-soviet atomic bunker in one of Panevezys, Lithuania's most industrial and partially disused areas.
Curated by Greta Tvarkunaite and Mantas Varnas as part of ISKROVOS music and art festival in 2022.
Crispy Grass Walk is a piece made up of distorted field recordings and analog video textures inside a 3d cube in motion. This textural analog cube sequence reflects the crisp sound textures encountered in the frosty morning grass. The ambient audio textures were captured during the early hours and blended with the haunting resonance of the MS-20 synth drones.
ABOUT ISKROVOS FEST AND THE CONNECTION TO INDUSTRIAL SURROUNDINGS:
Panevėžys, the fifth biggest city of Lithuania, was the industrial hub during soviet occupation years. Since Lithuania regained its independence more than 30 years ago, the city has been tackling the urban decay problem with many of its large factories abandoned. IŠKROVOS has taken the challenge to reconstruct the face of Panevėžys by celebrating its industrial past. We hope to bring the city’s forgotten streets back on the map by repurposing the key industrial buildings for this annual festival of music and art.
Industrial culture and its evolution could be dualistically defined as tangible and intangible. Tangible includes industrial landscapes and buildings that constitute the industrial heritage of a certain area and are often a target of preservation activities. Intangible industrial culture includes expertise, attitudes, values, traditions, and interlinked social factors beyond the factory. ISKROVOS programme encourages the debate on this topic between the residents and visitors of Panevėžys.
