About the Item
A virtual exhibit of digital sculptures, made in the form of a first-person shooter computer game reminiscent of the early classic 'Doom'. However, players cannot shoot—they do not have any weapons. All they can do is move around the exhibit and observe the reality that surrounds them.

About the Artist
Dmitry Kavka (b. 1974, Moscow), an artist and graphic designer. Creates projects at the intersection of digital and material realities. The combination of various means of expression and media allows the artist to explore the paradoxes of new sensitivity, social shifts and transformations of images in the digital environment. In his works he uses both new media — digital sculptures, videos, static computer games, and more traditional techniques — such as graphics. He also experiments with new ways of representing art projects in virtual reality. For instance, in 2013, he created an online game that houses digital sculptures of the artist. 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.
