10th Kaunas Biennial
Networked Encounters
September 18 – December 30, 2015
Kaunas, Lithuania
Artistic Director: Virginija Vitkienė
10th anniversary Kaunas Biennial analyses the modes of communication relevant to current technological and sociocultural realities. During past two decades face-to-face intercourses are being replaced by virtual chats, anonymous comments, official e-letters, reports and synthetic computer language with no sense of emotion and intentions of those who are behind the screen. The main aim is to create situations, platforms and spaces for human encounters, to enrich the silent “thread” conversation by voice, sound, common creativity, experiment and self-expressiveness through active participation in exhibitions, performances, sound installations, workshops and residency programmes, sites of memory projects activities and community art events
