Andrius Žemaitis
Andrius Zemaitis defended his bachelor's and master's degrees at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, studied graphic and industrial design. In 2010, he and his colleague founded the audio-visual visual duo “BrainMonk”. They recorded and released 24 experimental free improvisation albums. The experience with sound also led to a deeper understanding of visual experiences; in this way, sound improvisations evolved into audiovisual works, which in turn paved the way for complex, abstract film projects.
