Bio:
Error was born in Vilnius in June 2009 as part of a Capital of Culture project which deteriorated into a reality television show on Lithuanian National television. Monika Malinauskaite (Lithuania) Justin Tyler Tate (Canada/USA/Estonia) and Ernest Truely (Estonia/USA) were fired from the television show and went to Tallinn, Estonia to continue their activities at Culture Factory Polymer. Error creates site specific, functional installation art, assemblage and traditional objects of art. While Error has a core collective of members it often acquires other artists, designers, makers, etc. to work with on specific projects. Error is also a registered non-profit/non-governmental organization in Estonia.
Error’s board of directors is made up of Justin Tyler Tate and Ernest Truely. Error is a registered non-profit/non-governmental organization in Estonia. Error dedicates disused spaces for cultural and social exchange through the design and construction of site specific materials.
