The first Glitch Cult festival, made together with AKC Attack: the main exhibition
at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum; workshops, lectures and free concerts at Attack.
I was on the organising committee and the jury,
but couldn't come myself — visa trouble on the Croatian side.

• 440 applications
• 58 participants
• 18 countries

I gathered 173 of my poems on a site of their own, as visual objects in their own right.
Before that they lived wherever they could: a district newspaper, a rap forum, stihi.ru, litprom.
Now they have one home.

The sixth edition; the exhibition published Honey with its own curatorial note.

Three of my works were selected for the studio's second-anniversary show in New York.

The fifth edition of the Brazilian exhibition; my piece was Back To The Underground.

Zagreb again — POGON Jedinstvo — plus online and the GAG gallery in Taipei.
My piece Round dates was shown there as Procrastination.

Seven of my works were selected for the exhibition Error in Control.

An international online exhibition from Brazil;
my piece in the fourth edition was Follow me!

My first exhibition: /'fu:bar/ in Zagreb — offline at MaMa and online until the end of the year.
Inner emigration hung there, and next to it, as its own line, a joint collection with thealienarms.

I took full ownership of design at the bank and built the team:
most of its designers joined as juniors and grew up here.
This role is what made the redesign of the entire platform possible a year later.

• 4 designers
• 60+ people
• 26 countries

The collective grew out of correspondence between artists
who kept meeting at the same glitch exhibitions.
It was founded by thealienarms;
I was there from the start and have been helping build it ever since.
I made its site for the international festival.

I started Glitchy Pixels: glitch works assembled by hand, each published under its own number, “N / ∞”. The device came out of my visual poems of 2018; in August 2022 it became a practice of its own.

• 500+ works
• since 2022
• 100% hand-made

Lena and I got married.

By a funny coincidence, a year before our own wedding
I designed the MVP of a turnkey-wedding service,
Two Rings: brand, venue catalogue, the couple's dashboard, mobile app.
The project froze after the hypothesis tests —
and its case I later illustrated with our wedding photos.

I joined Arival Bank — a digital bank for businesses, licensed in Puerto Rico
and built for tech startups, digital companies and international trade.
Some of the people building it are my fellow students from the computer science faculty:
this is where the university line and the design line finally meet.

A PDM system for a major oil-and-gas developer that controls and automates the key processes of capital construction. I shaped the concept with the stakeholders and we reached an MVP fast; some features I proposed shipped.
Leaving, I handed the work to a designer I had trained myself.

Product designer in Moscow, on NeuroAfimall: navigation for Afimall City,
the mall at the heart of Moscow City that links its towers, the metro and the Expocentre.
I designed the smart screens and kiosks that guide people through the building
and pass content to their phones, the map that ties them together,
and a design system for it all.

• 90 screens
• 6 floors
• 230,000 visitors

Five works with my poems set over processed portraits:
screen noise, a game menu reading New game / Load game, blurred letters.
The same device became Glitchy Pixels four years later —
for me, glitch started not with an image but with words.

UI/UX designer at a Voronezh agency.
Clients included the engineering company PGS Project,
the Khamin Group with its City-Park Grad mall and Event-Hall concert venue,
the Moskovsky Prospekt mall, and the promo company Victory Team.

I was in the founding line-up of Milkshake, a Voronezh promo group
behind the Geocult party series — as a co-organiser and promoter.
Each party had its own theme, from Equilibrium to Antiutopia.
In the same years I worked face control at the clubs Dom, Nihilist and BKWSK.

Voronezh Institute of Economics and Law (VEPI) — designer in the institute's marketing department:
website design and tech support, social media, print ads, the student magazine.
In 2017 I fully reworked the brand identity; by the rector's reference, it stayed in use after I left. I also helped run the institute’s large joint events with the Voda entertainment complex and the club Aura.

User support at the Voronezh studio:
I joined as a first-line junior, grew into the second line and then got a project of my own —
The Lord of the Rings Online. All alongside university and freelance work, night shifts included.

On hip-hop.ru I released two Vagabund albums online on the same day:
Schokk's S Bolshoy DorogiSchokk, S Bolshoy Dorogi (2011). Album cover. and The Wandering JewOxxxymiron, The Wandering Jew (2011). Album cover. — OxxxymironMiron reading a new track from the album. 30 Oct 2013, from my Instagram.'s debut,
now counted among the most important releases in Russian rap.
I ran the threads for his other releases too.
Later Schokk would record songs to some of my poems for his next albums.

From 2009 I moderated the designers' section of hip-hop.ruQIP smileys, 2009, and three screens of threads, as they are · the forum, the largest Russian rap forum, together with Pokras Lampas. In parallel, from its founding until 2014, I moderated the Oxxxymiron community on VK — more than half a million people today.

Two years after the internet arrived at home, our school team took third place
at Internet and Us, an interregional youth festival in Voronezh.
First a remote round — a team site, a software product, a disc design —
then a three-day final: an interactive poster, live web search,
and an “Extreme Internet” round with GPRS navigators.

• 3rd place
• 87 teams

I grew up in Pavlovsk, in the Voronezh region, reading voraciously from the age of three —
at six, a local newspaper wrote about it. At nine came my first publication:
four poems in the district paper, two more in 2003.
In June 2010 I finished school with a silver medal and started writing poetry in earnest.
