About

In his work, Zhestkov continually imagines new worlds while expanding our understanding of the one we inhabit. He blends architecture, sculpture, and natural algorithms into a distinct aesthetic that serves as the foundation for representing a wide range of concepts, from physical phenomena and futuristic technology to philosophical ideas and embodied non-human agents.

As founder and director of the game company Cosmos Interactive and the creative XR studio FUN AND AWE, Maxim is exploring the many facets of interactive technology and its potential to tell stories unbound by the linear narrative. By using real-time engines as his main tool, he expands his vision to build the entire new worlds and create stories based on emotional non-verbal storytelling.
