About the Artist
Yaroslav Kravtsov is a media artist and developer who has worked in the video game industry since 2007. Initially he worked as a level designer at G5 Entertainment AB on mobile games for the Star Wars, Simpsons, The Sims, Red Faction, Hellboy, G.I. Joe and Saints Row franchises, as well as on several casual games. He also worked for Nival Online and Mail.ru before opting for independent development.
He is the curator of Workshop 15, which develops artistic video games. This is a relatively young art form that invites the player to reach a new level of interaction and reflection through deep immersion in worlds that are fully-fledged simulations of an imaginary or physically existing reality. For developers such games are the opportunity to formulate and express any forebodings in the air, and to anticipate the future by simulating scenarios for the development of events in their own virtual art universe.
