Kavka Dmitry

Dmitry Kavka was born in 1974 in Moscow.

Dmitry Kavka is a multidisciplinary artist who creates projects at the intersection of digital and material realities.

The combination of different expressive means and mediums allows the artist to explore the paradoxes of new sensuality, social shifts and transformations of images in the digital environment. He uses both new media - digital sculptures, videos, static computer games - and more traditional techniques, such as graphics, in his works. He also experiments with new ways of representing artistic projects in virtual realities. In particular, in 2013, he created an online game, the space of which housed the artist's digital sculptures. In 2017 he presented an exhibition of drawings on Google Maps using Google Street View technology - the project was shown in Venice, during the 57th Biennale of Contemporary Art.
