The exhibition ‘Circuit board (2)’ by Algirdas Jakas runs at Marcinkonys train station gallery and will be open until June 14th.

In the aluminium panels, the layers of time reveal themselves in different forms – as drawn fragments, or tightly drilled silhouetes. Mechanically screwed-on references to smart devices mask traces of time, hiding the beginning and the origin of the time of the screen light.This could be a time before the silicon revolution, or just the beginning of it. The point of view is non-human. It is the last frame of a drone flight or a falling phone. The microchip itself seems to be trying to replicate a human silhouete, to cut out an ear, to find the curve of a spine. Body parts turn into icons of different proportions, showing their insides. Wrenches communicate with microchips, all the indicator lights glow at the same time, and the mechanical age here goes hand in hand with transistors, as if trying to hold back the inevitable epoch of anxiety.

These works, finding themselves in Marcinkonys railway station, are literally connected through the railway tracks to my studio, located at Vilnius railway station, in Bėgių parkas. The new context turns the gaze of the works toward handcraft, the interweaving of digital processes with biomechanical movements, and their historical development.
