is a TechnoArt Artist. He lives and works in Yokohama, Japan
The artist's research focuses on complex systems, cognitive and evolutionary sciences. Their work explores social interactions as an evolutionary mechanism and examines the relationship between human biological nature, emerging technologies, and culture. Through their practice, they investigate the systemic interconnections between cultural, social, biological, and mathematical structures.
The artist's practice integrates mechanics, electronics, neural networks, and biological systems, exploring the intersection of generative audiovisual performance and interactive installations.
Born in 1978 in Kazakhstan, the artist has lived in Syria, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Since 2023, they have been based in Yokohama, Japan.
With a background in digital strategy and product development, the artist transitioned to contemporary art and technological experimentation in 2020.

One of the narratives in Russian propaganda refers to the tragic events in Odesa in 2014, when pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian groups clashed on the streets. The unrest, fueled by provocations, escalated into violence, culminating in a fire at the Trade Unions House and multiple casualties. Propaganda dehumanizes the pro-Ukrainian side, ignoring the chaotic and unpredictable nature of mass social events.
This project explores the "butterfly effect," a concept introduced by mathematician Edward Lorenz, which describes how minor initial differences in chaotic systems lead to unpredictable outcomes. Almost all processes in the universe—from the motion of galaxies to human interactions—are chaotic, meaning that even an imperceptible variation in starting conditions can lead to drastic divergence..
The artist aims to evoke a strong resonance or response in the viewer through non-figurative abstract images with a distinct yet meaningless structure.
Two-part installation consisting of a kinetic object, several TVs and broken pencils. The kinetic object reproduces to CCTV cam playground rubber pencil trick. The process is broadcasted in real time via TVs. Artist compares the consciousness of the person influenced by media-feeds with a flexible pencil. This is an ironic form of reflection on the influence of media, truthfulness of information translated by them, propaganda and TV as an outdated but still effective way to manipulate the audience."
