LINA DOVYDENAITE (b. Rokiskis, Lithuania 1991) is an architect and artist.
Lina Dovydenaitė is an artist and architect, born in 1991 in Lithuania. Currently living and working in Oslo, Norway. Lina Dovydenaitė moves between different disciplines such as architecture, video art and speculative design. Her video works are unique in that they research political and future technology issues, often imagining speculative future scenarios on urban themes. This makes her artwork a great base for public discourse. Lina Dovydenaitė has participated in group exhibitions and festivals in Europe, Asia, South America and the USA. Her work was exhibited at the London Design Biennale, 17th Athens Digital Arts Festival, Latin American Biennial of Artificial Intelligence 2022, Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, the IAM Weekend 21- Planet Earth and other.
