CV

Pavel Checkulaev

I was born in 1983. In 1996 I got my first PC. Since then, I have been closely watching the evolution of the digital world. My education, work and leisure are tied to internet technologies and MMO projects. I am interested in post digital, post internet and speculative design. And my main focus is on the digital world in video games. Being directly involved, following other users and players allows me to explore this theme and analyze the influence that digital space has. I think video games are the last freedom. In the digital world of gaming, we can be anyone, including ourselves.
