Cloud engineering from the perspective of plankton
Lithuanian, freelance curator, Raimundas Malašauskas is a storyteller stirring up meaning and interconnectedness from a hypnotic field of possibilities. In this presentation he will recount several stories all at once: how metaphors, artworks and optical technologies engage to look like a hologram that performs itself on stage; how artworks, circumstances and entire countries fall together; how immateriality turns out to be the most embodied practice; and other tales from the 4th dimension.
