A unique opportunity to purchase an exclusive work by Dmitry Kavka - "Amusement Park. Dark Forest", that is a part of "The Game" project.

"The Game" came to life from the idea that in the fully digital future world, humankind will become futile. In the post-apocalyptic world, stories about modern humanity will be perceived in the same way the ancient Greek myths are perceived today. It is unlikely that myths about today's man will be built around historically significant heroic figures. On the contrary, they will be about everyday existence, often meaningless and full of suffering.

Who will read these myths if humankind ceases to exist as a species? They are likely to lay at the core of video games where humans will play a role of an interface or an intermediary between their inner worlds with feelings and emotions and an external observer/player. An observer can be artificial intelligence, and these games will enable it to immerse itself in the world of human senses. Humans invented amusement rides for entertainment purposes, but in the future, it’s the machines that will use people’s memories to feel the thrills. In such games, artificial intelligence will be both the player and the game itself, the spectator and the participant, a mathematically precise algorithm and an elegant rhyme to long-gone humanity.

Dmitry took part in several dozens of group exhibitions and held about 10 solo projects and personal exhibitions. Over the years he has studied at the British School of Design, Ahn Sang-Soo's workshop, the Moscow School of New Cinema, the Free Workshops School of Contemporary Art (MMOMA).

Dmitry Kavka creates projects at the intersection of digital and material realities. By combining different expressive media and mediums, the artist explores the paradoxes of a new sensibility, social shifts and transformations of images in the digital environment. He uses new media in his works, such as digital sculptures, video making, static computer games, and also more traditional techniques, for example, graphics. He experiments with new ways of presenting art projects in virtual realities. In particular, in 2013, Kavka created an online video game where he places his digital sculptures. In 2017 the artist 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.
