It's always a joy for me to see creative #Lithuania represented in #Estonia. Visitors of the technological art exhibition Wild Bits of #Tartu2024 at the amazing @maajaam_ee can literally feel the earth moving under their feet thanks to the piece Lawn Centrifuge by 🇱🇹 @Julij0nas

🌌 Will we ever fully understand the forces at play in our lives? Listen to curators @monica_bello and @Tillsify in conversation with @DrShaneRRR to find out all about the exhibition #DARKMATTERS at @scigallerymel. Tune in on @einstein_agogo @3RRRFM: rrr.org.au/explore/progra…

DARK MATTERS is now open @scigallerymel ! An enigmatic experience of the unseen, undiscovered and unknown, proudly in collaboration with @ArtsAtCERN and @ARC_DMPP @SciMelb @UniMelb

🌌 Dark Matters at @scigallerymel opens on 5 August The exhibition brings artworks from our programmes to Australian audiences for the first time, featuring Alan Bogana, Patricia Domínguez, Yunchul Kim, @Julij0nas, @Semiconducting and Suzanne Treister: home.cern/news/news/know…

One of the last brilliant events accompanying M K Čiurlionis exhibition at @DulwichGallery already this Friday, 24 Feb! Among others including the performance by cosmic @Julij0nas whose work fascinated the @la_Biennale public with the @LithuanianSpace dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/after…

Final days to see @Julij0nas’s ‘When Accelerators turn into Sweaters’ at the @triennalemilano🧥 During his residency at @CERN, he was interested in quantum magnetic levitation, a phenomenon that occurs when a superconductor at its critical T levitates over a magnetic source 🧲

Last chance to see #SWARM today! Free entry, 11am to 5pm @scigallerymel @BompasandParr @Julij0nas @MichaelCandy

How do gravity and its aesthetic possibilities impact our perception, senses and technological development? ⁣ @Julij0nas spoke to @triennalemilano about his research ‘gravitational aesthetics’, his residency at @CERN and the resulting work ‘When Accelerators Turn into Sweaters’.

What impact would levitation have on art and design if it were possible at room temperature? @Julij0nas presents his @CERN project at the @triennalemilano, which results from his research on quantum magnetic levitation and superconductor fibres 🧲 → buff.ly/3DJNGys

Cosmos as a Journal, a wide ranging publication edited by @Julij0nas, is now out as a pdf. Featuring work by @EllieTheElement, @akvileterm, @Sitraka, @claire_i_webb, myself, and other friends. asajournal.lt/wp-content/upl…

@jstpwalsh @EllieTheElement @akvileterm @Julij0nas FYI looks like the whole issue is now online here asajournal.lt/wp-content/upl…

Ohhhhhhh our text for @Julij0nas in 'Cosmos as a Journal' is now available online - catch some of @akvileterm's wonderful illustrations - sadly, the little between-sections-stars don't seem to have made it into the digital but it's still 🤩🤩 asajournal.lt/articles/intim…

* as a Journal is up and running online, where you may find my recently edited issue "Cosmos as A Journal"! asajournal.lt @LCI_Lithuania

These cables dangle and entangle as a sweater-like knitwork object levitates in response to a magnetic field. ‘What such a staged thought experiment does to the metaphor of the building blocks (or rather threads) of the universe?’ the artist poses. arts.cern/article/julijo…

Urbonas wondered how a poetic abuse of technology could affect scientific language and metaphors. He materialised this insight into a @CERN-like heritage object, creating a replica of a section from the Large Hadron Collider and developing a way to weave the fibres into textiles.

At the @triennalemilano, @Julij0nas presents ‘When Accelerators turn into Sweaters’, resulting from his research at @CERN on quantum magnetic levitation and his experiments with knitting superconductor fibres 🧥⚙️ Read more: arts.cern/article/julijo…

Excited that this piece is out, in Cosmos as a Journal. It’s an experiment in fictional design histories and futures, about space whales, Boltzmann Brains, and Ant Farm, among other things. Glad to be among friends here. Thanks @Julij0nas for letting me do something weird.

@IowaReview @Julij0nas’s euthanasia coaster concept and model is what inspired the sestina after the same title! 🌀⚡️
