Pakui Hardware’s research-driven practice explores the entanglements of technology, economy and the body, focusing on how systems of production, circulation and care reshape corporeality. Through sculptural installations combining synthetic and organic materials, their work reflects on biopolitics, efficiency and the fragility of human and post-human systems. Their environments often stage bodies as both optimised and exhausted, suspended between vitality and depletion.

The duo represented Lithuania at the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Their work has been presented in solo exhibitions at institutions including Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and MUMOK. They have also participated in major international exhibitions such as Performa Biennial, Bukhara Biennial, Istanbul Biennial, Baltic Triennial, and Biennale Gherdëina, as well as exhibitions at Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle Basel, and MAXXI, among others.

The name Pakui Hardware combines references to Pakui—a mythical runner and attendant of a Hawaiian goddess, embodying velocity and endurance—and “hardware,” evoking materiality, bodies, and resources.
