Agnė Danieliūtė is a media artist working at the intersection of human and non-human perception, where ecological systems, digital simulations, and situated observation begin to blur into speculative forms of knowledge.
Her practice grows from posthumanist philosophy and expanded anthropology, and is grounded in attention to environments where agency is distributed: branches left on the ground, decaying matter, wetlands, synanthropic species and other forms of life that are often removed in the name of order in the human-shaped ecologies.
Drawing from an ecopoetic lens, perception is approached as relational rather than individual. The question of “what it is like to be another being” remains central to an ongoing MA thesis, emerging from Thomas Nagel’s essay What Is It Like to Be a Bat? and the broader “hard problem” of consciousness. Rather than attempting to resolve this distance, the work stays with its irreducibility.
Amidst uncertainty, she develops what could be described as speculative ethnography and posthuman folklore: narratives and methodological frameworks where observation shifts into mythopoetic worldbuilding. Simulation and digital environments become forms of ritual architecture, temporary cosmologies where non-human entities are treated as presences or guides. The work often inhabits liminal states where human intention meets forms of life that cannot be fully accessed, only followed, misread, or partially sensed.
Currently pursuing an MA in Photography and Media Arts at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. She holds a BA in Cultural History and Anthropology from Vilnius University, and a background in applied ceramics.
