DENIS DAVYDOV
Born 1985, Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Denis Davydov is a multimedia artist working with computer-generated imagery (CGI). He graduated in 2008 with a BA in Design from the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction. In his freshman year, he received an award from Render Re, an independent community of CGI artists. In 2012, his project Units of Lust was presented as part of a group exhibition by SYE Foundation at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris. Pursuing a career as an independent computer graphics artist, Davydov joined N3 agency, developing CGI content for brands including Microsoft, CCTV, Samsung, NBC, Ford and Bloomberg. Davydov’s projects have received more than 10 Adobe Behance awards ("Editors' Choice" and "3D Gold" categories). In 2020, Davydov founded Instigators — a constellation of artists and crypto visionaries united by the impulse to probe the shifting landscapes of NFTs and the uncharted horizons of Web3.

At present, Denis continues to expand his ongoing artistic series Jonim, while also developing a new type of simulation in Unreal Engine: an interactive digital sanctuary devoted to safeguarding and reimagining the endangered artisanal traditions of his native Uzbekistan. Alongside this, his studio has been investigating the integration of robotics into their practice, further extending the scope of their installations and media works.
In 2025, he unveiled a three-channel media installation at the Bukhara Biennale — a collaborative work created with local artisans, where ancestral knowledge and digital speculation converged in a shared act of making.
