My parents used to complain that right after they buy me a toy, I instantly disassemble it (break it) and make weird characters out of it. When I think what I do now, i realise that nothing much changed, just instead of toys I break software and with completed characters I play by animating them.

Rimas Sakalauskas is one of the most talented young generation’s video artists, working in the field of multimedia.
Rimas has shaped his creative philosophy from early on.
It manifests itself through artistic forms, the artist’s favoured and recurrent themes (science, physics and man-transformed nature), forms of matter encountered in his films
(liquid, metal), images (soviet buildings, factories, monoliths), and the overall rendition of the world in the nihilist key. These elements brand the artist’s method making his
creative stages and evolution intuitively predictable, yet his works are no way boring or the same. He keeps abreast of technological innovations and takes challenges. The
conceptual for him is equally important as the visual. Having mastered computerised technologies, the artist has gradually got to “shifting” static objects, circling them around,
to “melting” buildings, factories or sculptures.
