Neringa Cerniauskaite @ Baltic Art

Pakui Hardware (artists Neringa Cerniauskaite and Ugnius Gelguda presents a newly devised commission created specially for Baltic’s level 2, gallery space.  It explores the subject of robotic and virtual care at a particularly significant moment, when we find ourselves more concerned than ever with the quality and accessibility of healthcare.

Pakui Hardware’s work considers the movement of capital through bodies, technology and materials and how it shapes our realities. Reminiscent of futuristic or biological settings, their hybrid sculptures and installations use materials such as glass, artificial fur, textiles, leather, chia seeds, soil, silicone, metal and plastics. In recent years, their work has explored questions around contemporary medicine, imagining possible futures where material limitations are transcended by fragmenting, multiplying and recreating human and non-human bodies.
