Maxim Zhestkov is a London-based artist who has created the ‘Waves’ digital art installation that will be featured on the main stage screen during the summit. As an artist he examines the connections between physical and digital realities. Merging architecture, sculpture, colour, movement, and sound, the artist combines various channels of perception to develop a distinct universal language. Zhestkov has won numerous accolades, including the Red Dot Award, D&AD, iF Design Award and the ADC Award and his works have been exhibited in dozens of public art spaces, galleries and festivals across the globe, including the Kunsthalle Zurich and Decentral Art Pavilion Venice (2022), Contemporary Istanbul (2021), MIT (2019), ArtBasel Miami (2019), and Ars Electronica (2018).
