Intro： Aleksei Martyniuk is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and an adjunct-professor. In his artistic practice he often works with the theme of cyclicity and its possible forms. His video artworks do not represent some subjective experience, but rather create conditions for its occurrence for the viewer. They are aimed to expand the viewing experience and create new perceptive situations in which familiar elements of the surrounded world are placed in new contexts. The artist uses a wide range of modern digital technologies and techniques, but he doesn’t put them on a spotlight – they are only supporting elements for the implementation of ideas. Even those artworks of Aleksei that involve 3D or AI are frame by frame edited and refined, so, despite their computer-generated or rendered nature, they remain to be «hand crafted».
