Reverse Walking Experiment

2023 FOR PHILOSOPHER ERIK VOJEVODIN’S HUMAN EXPERIMENT HAPPENING IN KAUNAS DURING ITS YEAR AS THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE I WROTE A PSEUDO-SCIENTIFIC ESSAY ON THE EFFECT OF REVERSE WALKING ON BRAIN. FOLLOWING THE PATAPHYSICAL APPROACH – LET’S SAY THE ABSURD METHOD, I ADDED A META-LOGIC ESSAY TO HIS PARTICIPATIVE PERFORMANCE CALLED “WALKING FOR A BETTER WORLD” (EITI UŽ GERESNĮ PASAULĮ), PART OF A SERIES WHERE ARTISTS OFFERED UNCONVENTIONAL SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC: PEOPLE WERE INVITED TO WALK BACKWORDS

THE SERVICE INITIATIVE WAS CURATED BY LESIS KULCHYNSKA, EDVINAS GRINKEVICIUS, EGIJA INZULE IN COLLABORATION WITH KAUNAS ARTISTS’ HOUSE AND THE NIDA ART COLONY OF VILNIUS ACADEMY OF ARTS. THE EVENT WAS FOUNDED BY THE LITHUANIAN COUNCIL FOR CULTURE AND THE KAUNAS CITY MUNICIPALITY
