2015 – 2025<\/p>\n

A research-based artistic project on walking, language, and peripheral urban memory.
Moving Line \/ Einanti eilut\u0117 is a long-term artistic research project (2015\u20132025) that investigates public inscriptions as traces of lived presence in the city. Through a sustained practice of walking, the project gathers all manner of written signs found along urban peripheries\u2014graffiti, scrawls, stickers, posters, etched texts\u2014without privileging style, size, or material. These texts are later transcribed and uniformly formatted into a continuous typographic flow displayed on an LED screen more commonly associated with commercial signage.<\/p>\n

Each iteration becomes a moving archive from a specific territory: the visual rhythm of public expression translated into a restrained, silent stream of anonymous language. Walking serves as both form and methodology: a conscious movement through overlooked zones, where the accumulation of informal, unofficial voices reflects the texture of a place beyond its official narratives. By equalizing all texts\u2014regardless of authorship or social valence\u2014the project poses questions about legibility, access, and the archive\u2019s capacity to include the marginal or the ephemeral.
The scrolling LED display becomes more than just a surface; it operates as a non-linear reading space, where meaning is suspended and continually re-encountered. The result is not a curated message but an undirected flow\u2014suggestive of memory, noise, protest, poetry.<\/p>\n

2015 – Utena
The work Moving Line was exhibited at the entrance of the Utena Regional Museum. This is a screen with a moving line. This type of screens is often used in advertising. The lines that are being displayed are writings, which were found on walls, benches, various ads, graffiti and etc. during the walk around Utena. Appearance of such texts in Ethnographic Museum indicates desire to archive, an attempt to make them into exhibits and prominence. Ethnographic Museum is a place where information about region\u2019s past and present is collected and archived, so future generations could comprehend how their ancestors lived. In a sense, street \u201epoetry\u201d also presents contemporary human issues and the atmosphere of the city.<\/p>\n

2016 \u2013 SOD\u0172 4, Vilnius
Texts were collected within a 1 km walking radius surrounding an artist-run space near the train station\u2014an area dense with transitional infrastructure and visual residue. This documentation occurred during a period of intensive gentrification in this part of Vilnius, making it a final record of illegal inscriptions before their systematic removal from these rapidly changing neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

2017 \u2013 “Lietuva” Cinema, Vilnius
Before the building\u2019s demolition, all inscriptions inside the abandoned cinema were documented. This became a final documentation of the site\u2019s voices\u2014graffiti, comments, and markings left by visitors over years of abandonment. The resulting LED text stream preserved these layered traces just before the building\u2019s complete physical erasure.<\/p>\n

2019 \u2013 MO Museum \u2013 \u201cDNA of the 90s\u201d, Vilnius
For this exhibition exploring post-Soviet urban transformation, the artist reconstructed remembered texts from 1990s Vilnius, based on photograph archives and lived recollection\u2014a speculative archive formed through memory.<\/p>\n

2025 \u2013 Three Railroad Tracks to Vilnius
The latest edition involved three train journeys from Vilnius station to the first stop in three directions, returning along the tracks on foot. Along the way, all encountered inscriptions\u2014urgent or fading\u2014were gathered and re-presented as a unified, continuous LED text stream in the gallery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
