  1. Mark Z. Danielewski

    Mark Danielewski was born in NYC and graduated from Yale University in 1988 with a degree in English Literature.

    He's best known for his best-selling debut novel 'House of Leaves' (published by Pantheon books in 2000) which took him ten years of work (1990-2000). This proto-hypertextual work was followed by 'The Whalestoe Letters' (2000), a fictional compilation of letters between two of the protagonists in 'House of Leaves'.

    Noticable are not only his works in literature, but also his cooperation in films such as Derrida (2002) or his performances combining his books and music as well as theatrical performances.

    In 2010 he founded the Atelier Z, a creative 'studio' with professors, students, designers, and lots of other creative members who he works with since. The current project is a planned 27-volume story called 'The Familiar' - since 2015 until now five volumes were published.

  8. Sergey Kuznetsov

    В 1983 году окончил школу № 2 в Москве, затем учился на химическом факультете МГУ.
    В 1990-е гг. Сергей Кузнецов занимался филологической работой: писал монографию о поэтике Иосифа Бродского, изучал творчество Томаса Пинчона, переводил Стивена Кинга и Сьюзен Зонтаг, публиковался в толстых журналах. С 1996 года писал о кино и литературе для многочисленных бумажных и сетевых СМИ, где также опубликовал несколько своих переводов из Ирвина Уэлша, Томаса Пинчона и Энн Райс.
    Во второй половине 1990-х Кузнецов был
    одним из «отцов основателей» сетевой журналистики… одним из тех, кто давал имена, и он имеет право говорить от имени определённого поколения интеллектуалов (программистов, филологов, журналистов и писателей), точнее, части его, претендовавшей на роль новой интеллектуальной элиты или как минимум на статус самой продвинутой части этого поколения[1].
    Составил справочник «Интернет для журналиста» (совместно с Антоном Носиком), а также написал книгу мемуаров «Ощупывая слона. Заметки по истории русского Интернета».

  10. Andrey Chernov

    Андрей Александрович Чернов (Ache) родился в Москве приблизительно в 1966 году в семье служащих, настолько скромных, что об отце и матери Чернова практически ничего не известно. Когда Андрей был ребёнком и жил в удалённом от центра районе Москвы (Медведково), у него появилось странное чувство присутствия живых существ, которых не видел никто, кроме него. Некоторые дети развивают внутренний мир своей фантазии, но мир Чернова был больше похож на непосредственно ощущаемый, чем на воображаемый, поскольку он с детства был реалистом, любил порядок и был наделён математическими способностями.
