I make art systems at the intersection of personal mythology and technological environment. The central question of my practice is how attention determines which part of the surrounding world becomes our perceived reality, and how much of that selection is really ours. Ready-made interpretations can be taken as our own and become part of how we see the world before we have time to notice them.

In Whispers, the viewer's attention becomes an active force: it holds together the form of a creature from an invented world, or lets it fall apart. In Typismus I look at how attention fills in what is missing, automatically or through deliberate imagination. On a black canvas I place boxes and labels, the way computer vision marks up the world. But nothing of the machine is left except the form: the image only comes into being in the viewer's perception. Metatypismus extends this language, with circles marking what cannot be seen directly. In the triptych Fear, nine boxes labeled "person" stand in a ring around a circle labeled "fear", and what that fear looks like is filled in by whoever is looking.

The viewer is not an outside observer to me: their attention completes the system. Being able to see this mechanism is the first step toward being able to choose otherwise.

is an artist creating immersive digital systems at the intersection of personal mythology and technological environment. The central question of his practice: how attention determines which part of the surrounding world becomes our perceived reality, and which part stays outside it.

His practice is built on worldbuilding: inner states take the form of dynamic scenes inhabited by symbolic forces. These systems are alive - they evolve and reorganize in response to external signals: audience attention, sound, data streams. In many works attention acts as a critical force: distraction introduces decay and entropy, while focus restores the system. Each encounter produces a new state, making the work unstable and alive.

Kirilenko is the founder of Typismus - an art movement born from a joke: the world is depicted the way computer vision sees it, as labeled rectangles on a black canvas, while the creative function is handed to the viewer, who interprets and completes the image. Its extension is Metatypismus: a personal symbolic language for everything that cannot be seen - a feeling, a smell, a concept, a tension in a room. The system is open, and emotions are only one case of it. Out of it grew the Emotion Core: eight base emotions drawn in gold along concentric orbits, forming a metaportrait - a map of a being's transformation from inner chaos toward harmony.

His tools include 3D scanning and particle clouds, custom shaders, game engines, AI vision, and generative sound. His visual DNA is black and gold, circles and orbits - metaportraits read simultaneously as sacred ornament, icon, and printed circuit board.

Kirilenko's background in PR, advertising, and internet censorship shaped his critical view of perception as a contested space in the battle for attention. For him, an artwork is not an object but a system that exists only in the moment of interaction.
