That’s why I believe that the non-interruptive nature of Instagram live-stream would be a great medium to try to implement mindfulness practice. During the residency on Is this it?, for 21 days I tried to form a habit of practicing mindfulness while using guided meditations, created by my research subjects - spiritual influencers.This kind of daily practice was streamed live on my Instagram and afterwards uploaded on residency website ︎ ︎ https://gertrudagilyte.com/Live-streamed-values Tue, 05 Feb 2019 20:56:00 +0000 Gertrūda Gilytė https://gertrudagilyte.com/Live-streamed-values Live-Streamed Values: Clarity - Satisfaction - Harmony (2016)with Justina Jokūbaitytė In 2001 György Gattyán (the wealthiest person in Hungary in 2014-2015) founded the website www.livejasmine.com providing adult content service based on streaming technology which today&nbsp; generates the greatest traffic among all adult content provider websites in the world, the number its visitors exceeding that of CNN's. Based on LiveJasmins’ technology and using the benefits of video streaming, he created&nbsp;Oranum.com, a site providing online fortune-telling. Both websites share stricklingly similarly looking web layout and economic model (based on constantly inviting visitors to the private chat). While Oranum’s slogan is “Confused? We have clarity!” and it’s specializing on 24/7 online psychics services, LiveJasmin.com is an adult website providing live webcam performances, typically featuring nudity and sexual activity ranging from striptease and dirty talk to masturbation with sex toys. Installation Live Streamed Values consists of 3 parts: 1. Clarity&nbsp; Oranum.com psychics’ Guided answer to the question “What Will Happen To Mankind?” 2. Satisfaction (Let’s Go Private vol. 2) Compilation of sound (live-streamed video) and text (user’s comments) in public LiveJasmin chatroom3.

Both websites share the same visual layout and economic model, for completely different purposes. Oranum is "biggest online spiritual community" in which you can find clarity (as website's slogan –&nbsp;Confused? We have clarity! claims), whil LiveJasmine provides web model services, which attracts users who are looking for satisfaction and erotic related purposes online. Video consist of two elements: 1) Text (authentic users’ sentences from chat rooms in LiveJasmin and Oranum) 2) Audio (authentic soundtrack recorded from LiveJasmin and Oranum chat rooms). Concept of these two pages is based on attracting users to enter private chatroom in which one can get “undivided attention’ in both of them or “specific questions answered” (Oranum), or “everything you want” (LiveJasmine).&nbsp; Title Let’s Go Private refers to the most important moment in the conception of both sites: after getting into private chat, everything changes –public becomes private, free becomes paid (credit price for one minute varies from 3 to 15 dollars per minute); abstract becomes specific, visual and moral borders disappear. https://gertrudagilyte.com/I-love-you-Gertruda Mon, 22 Mar 2021 06:29:41 +0000 Gertrūda Gilytė https://gertrudagilyte.com/I-love-you-Gertruda I love you, Gertrūda 2021-ongoingThey say that knitting reduces anxiety and increases happiness hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, while saying 'I love you' to yourself daily supposedly increases self-compassion. I am knitting the same scarf over and over again, with the text 'I love you, Gertrūda' written on it. The project will keep on going until the scarfs are going to be sold out in the art market as art objects. ‘I love you Gertrūda’ is about thick green lines between self-obsession and self-hate, self-care and excessive introspection, commitment and yearning, sloppiness and devotion, performance and authenticity, Zeitgeisty and traditional, love and hate, beautiful and ugly, lovely and annoying, quantity and quality.&nbsp; Durational performance has many similarities with the personal development - routine, repetition, ritual, consistency, commitment, dedication. During the lenght of this project, besides knitting I also post at least one video about it on Tiktok per day, this way hoping to reflect on the performativity of personal development on social media.&nbsp;&nbsp; ‘I love you, Gertrūda’ on Tiktok!&nbsp; <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a4050a0a4961f472712c774e124aa52fa5a0c9f263571b4d023266f60b897c1a/IMG_0420.jpg" data-mid="250617162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a4050a0a4961f472712c774e124aa52fa5a0c9f263571b4d023266f60b897c1a/IMG_0420.jpg" /><img width="3024" height="3052" width_o="3024" height_o="3052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/950774c28959ee213fcfc342b9cad74822628862b3dce396a0ef3197e67e5ee6/IMG_6598-copy.jpg" data-mid="250617317" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/950774c28959ee213fcfc342b9cad74822628862b3dce396a0ef3197e67e5ee6/IMG_6598-copy.jpg" /> “I Love You Gertrūda” at FIGHT or FLIGHT: SEX,&nbsp;Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin, Germany, 2026 <img width="1650" height="2200" width_o="1650" height_o="2200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d3653a0fd23220c4c76f7494aed98b6b51ac91101bcc615d08d4e641cb50d723/drh-19.JPEG" data-mid="223571054" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d3653a0fd23220c4c76f7494aed98b6b51ac91101bcc615d08d4e641cb50d723/drh-19.JPEG" />“I Love You Gertrūda” at MO Museum, Vilnius, Lithuania, 2024, photo credits: Rytis&nbsp;Šeskaitis Project is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media in the programme NEUSTART KULTUR Module D - Digital Mediation Formats and Lithuanian Council of Culture. <img width="1627" height="553" width_o="1627" height_o="553" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6133f86ee23a5a83d4734414cad0e18375cbe2662fd21566bec16748a73f3e35/BKM_Web_de.jpg" data-mid="162626067" border="0" data-scale="7" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6133f86ee23a5a83d4734414cad0e18375cbe2662fd21566bec16748a73f3e35/BKM_Web_de.jpg" />&nbsp; <img width="170" height="161" width_o="170" height_o="161" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b2ca1bd7128d7dfcfc9461304e683f454131733fa5fa8e9b145bdea39a46ca0/Screenshot-2022-12-23-at-11.05.45.png" data-mid="162626066" border="0" data-scale="7" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/170/i/1b2ca1bd7128d7dfcfc9461304e683f454131733fa5fa8e9b145bdea39a46ca0/Screenshot-2022-12-23-at-11.05.45.png" />&nbsp;<img width="756" height="224" width_o="756" height_o="224" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0321fb850f9ba78962c52a455b4e96caf98bc8918dc57cdb02e4d46813ca9bd/dkb_logo_1-9-x-6-4cm_RGB_300dpi.jpg" data-mid="162626081" border="0" data-scale="7" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/756/i/d0321fb850f9ba78962c52a455b4e96caf98bc8918dc57cdb02e4d46813ca9bd/dkb_logo_1-9-x-6-4cm_RGB_300dpi.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="386" height="130" width_o="386" height_o="130" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4855ac19a21c6504303584096d30888169c439772fbee24547c1f2728ddf54d6/download.png" data-mid="223571317" border="0" data-scale="5" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/386/i/4855ac19a21c6504303584096d30888169c439772fbee24547c1f2728ddf54d6/download.png" /> https://gertrudagilyte.com/Home-Image-Scroll Tue, 05 Feb 2019 18:50:14 +0000 Gertrūda Gilytė https://gertrudagilyte.com/Home-Image-Scroll
