🗽City textures: rethinking J. Albers through AI project
📸This innovative project aims to redefine the intersection of art, technology, and perception by incorporating textures and using artificial intelligence to create unique visual narratives.
🎨Josef Albers, one of the most influential artists and color theorists of the 20th century, began his series of works entitled “Homage to the Square” in 1950 and continued to work on it for the rest of his life. This series included hundreds of lithographs, paintings, and drawings, each representing three or four squares nested within each other. Albers’ main goal was to explore the interaction of color and its effect on perception. He demonstrated that the same color can appear quite different depending on the context in which it is placed. This discovery allowed him to argue that “color perception is deceptive.”
🧱In my project, I propose a new dimension to these studies: the dimension of texture. Texture gives each color a unique depth and context, creating a complex and layered visual experience. Using textures - such as the roughness of old bricks, the wear and tear of asphalt, or the sheen of glass facades - allows for an even deeper exploration of how the physical properties of a surface affect the perception of color.
🤖Artificial intelligence in this project is not just a tool but an active participant in the creative process, offering new ways to interpret and interact with the material. It allows us to see how different combinations of textures and colors can create unexpected, sometimes surreal scenes that evoke strong emotional reactions in viewers and stimulate their imagination. For example, artificial intelligence can transform an image of an old brick wall into a visually fascinating landscape filled with bright colors and abstract shapes, which makes us rethink our attitude toward the ordinary and notice the beauty in the everyday.

💥Through the Comic Lens: Urban Legends (AKA God Save Comics)
🗽This project is a series of photographs I took during an exchange program in New York City.
🌃 They capture various places and events that are difficult to predict or explain. This captures the city’s essence, where unique and extravagant individuals live. Walking the streets, one encounters thousands of unusual things and millions of mysterious people. I was drawn to capturing things that seemed out of place or stood out. I pondered that behind every abandoned object, in unusual streets, and among strange buildings, there was something mysterious or out of place that I could never fully understand.
🎨That’s how the idea for my book was born: to combine real places with fictional stories. This concept reminded me of comic books, where artists borrow real locations, but the characters and plots are figments of their imagination. I created a photo comic where each frame is a fragment of a shared space and story. For a more significant effect and to create memorable stories, I uploaded pages of my work to an artificial intelligence system that told stories based on the photos.
🤖Surprisingly, the AI interpreted them more broadly and interestingly, relying only on metadata and recognized objects. That’s how my book Through the Comics Lens: Urban Legends came to be. It’s probably the first human-machine photocomics of its kind, showing you real places with fictional stories and helping you see our world from a new angle, adding more mystery and enigma.

🫣🔎Micro Vision project
🫵This small project combines microphotography and artificial intelligence to create a unique intertwining of technology and art. The work aims to explore acrylic paint at the microscopic level, where each frame reveals patterns and textures invisible to the eye. Once the microphotographs are captured, they are uploaded into various artificial intelligence models, transforming abstract images into new forms and interpretations.
🥴The project’s point lies in the metaphor of the search for meaning: using AI as a tool not only to analyze but also to create meaning in abstract images symbolizes the human quest to understand and interpret the world around us. Artificial intelligence mediates the chaotic world of natural forms and the human desire to organize and analyze this visual diversity.
🤖The project emphasizes how technology can push the boundaries of traditional art and research, offering new methods for interacting with and understanding our visual and emotional perceptions. Through this work, we see how artificial intelligence can analyze and process data and facilitate a deep exploration of the meaning embedded in each photograph.

I finally finished my installation AND the fully working website for it
(…okay, it only works on computers — I still haven’t adapted it for phones. One day. Maybe.)
There are a lot of small Easter eggs hidden inside, and somehow I ended up building around 14 functional mini-apps within this one site.
No regrets — it was fun.
If you’re curious, go play with it:

This spring, I had the honor of presenting my sculptural project Ineffable at the @seimaslt Lietuvos Respublikos Seimas.
The project — part of my bachelor’s thesis in Media and Communication — explores cosmological paradoxes through 3D printing, transparent materials, and light. It aims to give form to what resists representation: the abstract, the paradoxical, the unknowable.
I’m deeply grateful to @tomilinas_tomas Tomas Tomilinas, Member of the Seimas, for initiating and supporting the exhibition, and to Rector @vilius.sadauskas Vilius Šadauskas, representing the university at the opening. Their presence made this academic–artistic moment truly meaningful.
The exhibition also featured works by some of my talented peers, including @corpus.art.2025 Corpus Temporale — a reflection on aging and embodiment in the digital age, curated by @subota.m.d Mikita Subotkin and @honeybibibaby Alina Sadouskaya.
Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and stood beside us in this beautiful and intellectually charged space.
It means more than I can say.
In May, I had the chance to present my work at L’AFFAIRE TONNERSOL, an international festival of comics and visual storytelling in Tonnerre, France.
My project — a series of 36 A2 photographic fiction pieces — was exhibited as part of a joint show and public dialogue with the incredible @philippejozelon Philippe Jozelon, whose generosity, insight, and visual clarity shaped this encounter far beyond the exhibition walls.
Philippe, thank you — for trusting, responding, and weaving your language next to mine.
This was also my first time exhibiting in a bookstore — and what a bookstore it was. @librairie_maipiu is more than a space: it’s a living archive of radical ideas, stories, and worlds. Deepest thanks to its founder and curator, leonardcohen28 Camilla Patruno, whose energy and vision brought the entire festival together and made space for fragile, hybrid, speculative work like mine.
My piece explored AI-generated memory, fragmented narrative, and speculative urban mythology — images that glitch, duplicate, and misremember. It was part of a broader curatorial inquiry into how narrative practices shift across generations and technologies.
Still glowing from this experience, and incredibly grateful to all who made it possible.

In spring, I presented a small installation at Lietuvos dailininkų sąjunga in Vilnius — an offshoot of a larger, still-evolving work: my photo comic Fragments of the End.
Originally created during an art residency in Nida, this project blends documentary urban photography with AI-generated legends and hand-written fragments of imagined text. It reimagines real spaces as speculative terrains — places haunted by unfinished stories, warped memories, and mythic half-truths.
The comic was never meant to be linear. It exists as scattered entries, ambiguous cues, and blank spaces for others to complete. The installation followed that logic — inviting viewers to walk through something fragmentary, unstable, layered.
Posting this now, out of sync with the official timeline, feels strangely appropriate.
✶
Fragments of the End asks what happens when machines try to reconstruct memory — and when humans fill in the gaps.

AFFICHE STRICTEMENT PROVISOIRE !
Mais événement bien programmé !
Grâce à l'intermédiation de Marina, dont tout le monde connaît la cuisine dans le Tonnerrois grâce à "Le chat qui rêve", Philippe Jozelon et Alix Stseryna ont pu se rencontrer et nous concocter une expo-débat pour le Festival.
Le thème est extrêmement actuel mais aussi décidément explosif et clivant - l'Intelligence Artificielle - et confrontera "un vieux schnock qui a découvert l'ordinateur très tard après des décennies de peinture" (ce sont ses mots), aujourd'hui converti aux nouvelles technologies, et une jeune artiste biélorusse née longtemps après l'invention d'internet.
Philippe réside à St Vinnemer, travaille depuis une trentaine d'années dans le domaine de l'illustration; Alix est une photographe russe et créatrice de contenus qui malgré son jeune âge, après son diplôme à Vilnius a déjà étudié et travaillé à New York, Brooklyn, Varsovie et Berlin. Et maintenant Tonnerre ;-)
On vous en dira plus dans les jours à venir, on voulait d'abord vous mettre un peu l'eau à la bouche
