Excited to be apart of this exhibition @kaje.world 👀👀 RTRU*(*Raudive Technoculture Research Unit) April 4– May 17, 2026 Ka Baird, Scott Benzel, Valdis Celms, Cal Fish, Jason Isolini, Voldemārs Matvejs, Karlīna Mežecka, Adriana Ramič, Konstantīns Raudive, Ieva Rubeze RTRU presents RTRU *(*Raudive Technoculture Research Unit), a group exhibition at KAJE centered on the work of Konstantin Raudive (1909–1974), the Latvian writer and parapsychological researcher known for his experiments with Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), or the recording of disembodied voices onto magnetic tape. In the aftermath of World War II, Raudive developed techniques using radio static and blank tape to capture what he believed were fragments of speech from beyond the audible field—utterances that were often multilingual, compressed, and resistant to stable interpretation. The exhibition title extends the name of the curatorial collective itself—RTRU (Riga Technoculture Research Unit), originally referencing the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) and the Baltic’s oldest technical university, Riga Technical University (RTU, est. 1862)—by substituting “Riga” with “Raudive,” aligning the exhibition’s subject with the collective’s own research framework. Bringing together contemporary artworks, non-art objects, archival materials, and newly commissioned sound-based works, the exhibition treats Raudive as material to be re-examined, reinterpreted, and reassembled across artistic, technical, and cultural registers. ~ ABOUT RTRU Established as the Riga Technoculture Research Unit in 2022 under the commission of Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Riga, RTRU is a curatorial collective (Zane Onckule and Elizaveta Shneyderman) that develops exhibitions as open-ended systems of inquiry. Its projects bring together artworks and non-art objects within structured yet indeterminate frameworks, often organized around figures, concepts, or problematics that resist stable interpretation.

Humbled to be the focus of a recent peice by @natychuk for @millennium_film_journal among many great people. Natasha nails the perceptual drift (fantastic title) in my work I’m unable to put into words myself. Link in bio — a publication and community worth supporting.

🌀❤️👋Last night I presented “Baby Event Horizon” a work that used a cardiogram of my newborns heart from when she was still in the womb. The peice was a part of a hackathon presented by @rhizomedotorg @onassis.onx & @newinc where I participated in workshops using AI assisted coding with @claudeai to develop an interactive work. Baby even came on stage to present the project :) Filled with a lot of gratitude & thankful to be apart of this incredible community. 🙏 🙏@mccoyspace @hotemogf @wttdotm for the inspiring thinking on these tools.
