About

In his work, Zhestkov continuously imagines new worlds and expands the understanding of the phenomena present in our universe. He blends architecture, sculpture, and natural algorithms to form a distinct aesthetic approach that becomes a foundation for representing a variety of concepts — from physical phenomena and futuristic technology to philosophical ideas and embodied non-human agents.

As a founder and director of a game company Cosmos Interactive and a creative XR studio FUN AND AWE, Maxim is exploring different sides of interactive technology and its potential to tell stories that are not bounded 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.
