with Ugne Daniute and Gabriele Zemaityte
The wayfinder: a tool, device, machine, an orientation system.
A technology, a function, an object, a code, a philosophy, a map, a belief, a story.
A fantasy, an inkling, intuition.
A magical object, mysterious, otherworldly and of unknown origin.
Help, reliance, a signpost, a signal - left by someone else.
When you need to find your way, it means you feel lost or you are searching.

A ‘wayfinder’ “is a tool assisting in navigating the open world without a compass, clock, online user forum, search engine or open-source navigation platform. It aids in finding the personal experience of navigating realities by assisting and embracing observation, gut instinct, signs and clues from the world.
