Interdisciplinary artist from Vilnius, who specializes in sound art and constructing diy electro-acoustic instruments and sound objects. His work is often associated with concepts of “readymade” and “diy”. He perceives creativity and art objects as a process hence reduces the importance of the finalized results in his projects. As a consequence, his work has a tendency to be indeterminate and transformative through time. He is also the housekeeper of Studium P.
