A tower that recalls the ubiquitous pylons of the 20th century electricity grid, but carrying sound instead of high tension power lines - a voice that talks about heat and cities, the primitive fire that is the underlying power source of modernity. The words are those of Don DeLillo, from his novel White Noise.

Ignas Krunglevičius (b. 1979) is a composer and visual artist with a BA and an MA in Composition Studies obtained from the Norwegian Music Academy. While most of his work consists of installations, video art and sculptures, the artist also works as composer, creates musical performances and actively participates in electronic/contemporary music festivals as well as film festivals.
Krunglevičius’s creative work is based on researching the interactions of existential realities generated by power, economy, nature, and global technological development, emphasising new technologies and their relation to the mechanisms of the human psyche. Through the use of sound, the artist alters the human perception of space and its semantics.
Ignas Krunglevičius’s works have been exhibited in both solo and group shows at the Vilnius Contemporary Art Centre (Lithuania), Ursula Blickle Stiftung (Germany), Oslo Kunstforening (Norway), and the Łaźnia Centre for Contemporary Art (Poland), among other art institutions.
