    Leksha Yankov

    Leksha Yankov creates algorithms to generate musical score, that can play and vary, in theory, infinitely.
    The tools for making music range from traditional DAW environments and hardware synths to coding environments like Sonic Pi and visual programming languages such as Max/MSP, vvvv and even Unreal Engine! And the styles range from mesmerizing ambient to dope techno from the nineties! Leksha makes electronic music since 1998, representing his own musical vision, and made a quite significant contribution to the development of Russian electronic scene.
    Now Alexey creates soundscapes for interactive installations, art spaces, exhibitions and all kinds of media.

            Kuflex, Laboratory of interactive design and audiovisual art, Moscow, Russia

            Kuflex Lab is a Russian studio working with interactive audiovisual arts. Founded in 2012 by Igor Tatarnikov, Denis Perevalov and Ksenia Lyashenko.

            They explore the newest ways of using video, sound, light, tracking technology and generative graphics to allow viewers to dive into that digital space. And feel it to the fullest!

            Kuflex large-scale interactive installations dismantle stereotypes of sensory perception.Immersive effect switches off rational evaluative perception and provokes spontaneous emotions of inner child. A small team creates magic installations and art projects, exploring mechanisms of interaction and inter-influence of inter-subjective reality and its digital projection. Interacting with constantly changing projection, the viewer enters meditative state, turns from a passive observer into a co-creator.

            Installations and audio-visual performances by Kuflex have been featured in many Russian and foreign exhibitions, festivals, museums, science and education centers in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Tyumen, Abrau-Dyurso, Netanya (Israel), Antalya (Turkey), Athens (Greece, ADAF), Las-Vegas (USA, CES), Coachella festival (USA), Beijing (China,China Science and Technology Museum), Manila (Philippines, Volvo Art Session (Switzerland) and others.

            Igor and Denis are the authors of books and video course about creative coding: Mastering openFrameworks: Creative Coding Demystified (Packt Publishing, 2013), openFrameworks: Essentials (Packt Publishing, 2015), openFrameworks Interactivity (Packt Publishing, 2017). Four works of the Kuflex were included in the book New Media Installation published in 2018 in Hongkong by Sandu. Work Symbiosis was included in the book The Age of Data:

            Embracing Algorithms in Art & Design which will be published on november 2021 in Switzerland by Niggli Verlag.

                  “Orrell argues that modelling markets with the mathematical toolbox of quantum mechanics could lead to a better understanding of them … Such ideas may still sound abstract. But they will soon be physically embodied on trading floors … One way or another, finance will catch up.” The Economist

                    “The reason I want to explore beyond Earth is simple: The allure of the unknown is far more powerful than the comfort of the known.”
                    – Dr Adriana Marais, theoretical physicist, technologist and aspiring extra-terrestrial

                    Dr Adriana Marais has a background in research, her award-winning PhD and postdoctoral work in quantum biology focused on photosynthesis and the origins of the building blocks of life in space. She is an internationally renowned advocate for off-world exploration, and has given hundreds of talks to audiences on all seven continents of this planet, as well as been featured in documentaries including AOL’s ‘Citizen Mars’, and CNN’s ‘Africa’s Space Race’.

                    Adriana is currently a Director at the Foundation for Space Development Africa, developing Africa’s first mission to the Moon, the Africa2Moon Project. She is Scientific Moderator on Space Resources with the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator, and Chair of Space Sciences at Tod’Aérs Aeronautics and Space Research. She is also Faculty at the Singularity University and Duke Corporate Education.

                    In 2019, Adriana founded Proudly Human, and she is currently leading the organisation’s Off-World Project: a series of off-grid habitation experiments in the most extreme environments on the planet, in preparation for life on the Moon, Mars and beyond, as well as a sustainable future on Earth.
