Julijonas Urbonas Lithuanian, b. 1981
Julijonas Urbonas uses engineering to imagine experiences that cannot yet exist.
Julijonas Urbonas is a Lithuanian artist, engineer and researcher whose practice spans speculative design, architecture and installation. Founder of the Lithuanian Space Agency and former Director of a Soviet amusement park in Klaipėda, he develops works that use engineering not to solve practical problems but to test how physical forces shape bodily experience and human imagination. Central to his practice is the concept of gravitational aesthetics, a term he introduced to describe artistic experiences produced through the manipulation of gravity. His best-known project, Euthanasia Coaster (2010), proposes a hypothetical roller coaster engineered to end a human life through sustained gravitational force, combining the logic of aerospace medicine with the formal language of amusement park design.
Born in Klaipėda in 1981, Urbonas studied at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, where he completed a BA in Visual Design and an MA in Design. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art, London, and is Associate Professor at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. His work has been presented internationally at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Venice (Italy); Triennale Milano, Milan (Italy); Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York (USA); Centre Pompidou, Paris (France); Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (The Netherlands); and ZKM | Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe (Germany). In 2010 he received the Award of Distinction in Interactive Art at Prix Ars Electronica, and in 2024 the Lithuanian Government Prize for Culture and Arts.

ARTISTIC PRACTICE
Julijonas Urbonas approaches engineering as an artistic medium. His projects are developed with scientific rigour, drawing on aerospace medicine, mechanical engineering and design research, yet their purpose is never purely functional. Instead, each work proposes a situation that stretches the limits of existing technologies, institutions and ways of imagining the body. Gravity is the recurring material of this practice. Through what he terms gravitational aesthetics, Urbonas treats gravitational force not simply as a physical phenomenon but as a medium through which perception, movement and emotion can be shaped. Whether designing speculative roller coasters, orbital habitats or kinetic environments, he transforms scientific principles into precisely constructed experiences that occupy the space between engineering and fiction. This approach extends into Urbonas's broader research, where concepts such as vehicular poetics and design choreography investigate how movement, technology and design can generate new artistic methodologies. The Lithuanian Space Agency similarly operates as both an institution and an artwork, adopting the language and ambitions of space exploration to imagine alternative collective futures. Across his practice, engineering becomes a tool for asking questions that science alone cannot answer. Rather than predicting the future, Urbonas constructs carefully reasoned scenarios in which gravity and the body become materials for artistic speculation.
