People
At the intersection of design, technology and culture, ideas are born through creativity, experimentation and collaboration with people.
About
The VDK community is built by lecturers, researchers and creators who combine academic knowledge with practical experience. These are people who constantly explore, experiment and share their insights with students. Their work extends beyond the classroom – they actively participate in projects, art and design processes, and scientific research, creating an open, creative and ever-evolving learning environment. Together, these people are an inseparable part of the community, without whom we would not be who we are today.
College Lecturers
Who creates the VDK learning atmosphere? These are lecturers – creators, researchers and practitioners living in the flow of ideas between art, design and technology. They not only share knowledge but also constantly create, experiment and search for new forms. Their experiences become living material for studies, and the classroom becomes a shared space for discovery and growth.

Guest Lecturers
Jie atneša naujas perspektyvas. Svečiai dėstytojai – tai praktikai ir kūrėjai iš skirtingų sričių, trumpam įsiliejantys į studijų ritmą. Jie dalijasi realiomis patirtimis, idėjomis ir metodais, praplečiančiais įprastas ribas ir įkvepiančiais naujam mąstymui.

Meet the Researchers
Researchers are curiosity-driven creators who combine analysis, experiment and intuition. They study materials, processes and ideas, seeking unexpected connections between art, design and technology. Their work is a constant questioning and redrawing of boundaries.
