KiR

Russia

KiR, by his legal name Dmitry Papizh, is a Russian generative artist and musician. In his artistic practice, he employs innovative tools to create striking abstract audiovisual works. He delves into the forms of contemporary art, combining technological advancements in the field of computer graphics, bio-engineering and music. At the heart of his work is the concept of synesthesia, combining sound and graphics into a single continuous flow. He also studies the spectator’s ability to influence his works through their presence. Using various sensors, he creates installations that allow the viewer to see themselves on the other side of the projection.

While working in post-production for the advertising and film industry, KiR developed an interest in real-time engines. In collaboration with musicians from around the world, KiR is involved in a diverse range of projects, from live performances to individual digital artwork. One notable project includes a collaboration with the wine brand Vismino, curated by Lika Mellow, where he combined digital artistry with the brand's identity. He is also an active member of the art collective Synticate, based in Moscow, and serves as the art director of the multimedia production studio minus.618.
