∖ Exhibition. I AM PLURAL
June 17 – September 6, 2026 ∖ Vilnius, Vytautas Kasiulis Museum of Art
The exhibition brings together two artists – Yuge Kurt (Vilnius) and Egmontas Geras (London) – whose collaboration emerged not in a physical space, but within a hybrid digital field. Living in different countries, they have been exchanging creative ideas for more than three years, yet have never met in person. The exhibition can therefore be understood as the materialisation of this unusual dialogue.
Using contemporary technologies and artificial intelligence, both artists explore the condition of contemporary identity and invite us to reconsider the forms in which we exist today. Both artists have changed their names: Vilnius-based Yuge Kurt adapted her name for her creative practice beyond Lithuania, while London-based Egmontas Geras adapted his for the Lithuanian context. For them, identity is not a fixed point, but a constantly shifting configuration – I live here, I create towards there; I live there, I create towards here.
At the intersection of digital and physical spaces, a new field of perception emerges, in which identity, technology and art operate as equal partners. Rather than asking Who am I?, the exhibition asks: In how many forms, and in what forms, do I exist? And is this plurality already becoming our new reality?
The exhibition opening will be attended by the artists Yuge Kurt from Vilnius and Egmontas Geras from London.

Excerpt from the exhibition text
Yuge KURT: “I explore forms of digital authenticity and the ways in which artificial intelligence—particularly one of its fields, machine learning (where computers are trained to recognise patterns in data and make decisions independently)—enters the artist’s creative process. Digital tools not only open up new possibilities, but also become partners that shape my creative process: first, I create a static art object, then I allow artificial intelligence to generate new interpretations, which I cut apart, edit and reassemble into a new object. I repeat this process until I achieve the desired result.
Technology allows me to move beyond the boundaries of physical, tangible creation. I am interested in whether algorithms and similar technologies can become self-regulating creators. Does the first step always have to be taken by a human? A strange, invisible form of collaboration begins to emerge…”
