At VIALET, we operate on a core belief: While we build modern financial systems, culture builds meaning. That conviction is why we are proud sponsors of Mykolas Valantinas’ profound solo exhibition, “Father,” at the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) in Vilnius.
The exhibition, which opened on November 7th, is a powerful exploration of legacy, value creation, and the symbols of wealth in the age of artificial intelligence.
The Connection: From Litas to Digital Value
The exhibition begins with the archive of the artist’s father, Rytis Valantinas, who was the designer of some of the first post-independence Lithuanian banknotes. This history—the creation of tangible national value—parallels VIALET’s mission: we are the architects of digital financial infrastructure, facilitating today’s non-physical value.
The exhibition directly asks: What does value mean when lines blur between original and copy? The artist sums up this mechanism:
“Everything Costs Money – So I Learned to Print Banknotes.”
For VIALET, this work is more than art; it’s a mirror reflecting our own role in defining the future of value. The work sparked vital discussion among our team during our private viewing, reinforcing our belief that this dialogue is essential.
Conclusion: Go Experience It
VIALET’s support for the “Father” exhibition is a commitment to the intellectual and cultural vitality of Lithuania.
We encourage all our partners and the community to visit the Contemporary Art Centre and experience this thought-provoking exhibition firsthand.
