Oleksandr Sirous
Oleksandr Sirous (b. 1996, Kharkiv) is a new media artist, performer, and sound artist living and working in Kyiv, Ukraine.
April-June 2023
Sirous works with big data sets and the principles of interaction and communication in web environments and creates complex simulation environments using AI. His background in animation and comics has influenced his practice, leading to a constant search for a non-trivial approach to storytelling and composition in media works. Recently, because of his work with game engines, he has turned to video game culture, various game mechanics, and new rules of interaction, thus finding new approaches at the intersection of the already established practices in media art and video games.
