"Virtuality is a possible state of being, not realized in actuality..." Thomas Aquinas

The events of this spring (2020) acted as a catalyst, turning our previously lazy and fragmentary movement towards virtual space into a harsh and instantaneous immersion of all our social existence into it. This gave rise to a large number of virtual platforms. The proposed project is a search for new principles of visual language for virtual exhibitions.

The author set the task of presenting a conventional thematic group exhibition of artists of different genres and directions in an unusual way, presenting the already frequently explored theme of victory in the Great Patriotic War in a new context - connecting times by placing the exhibition in a fictional architectural space and filling it with dynamic installations. The theme of that war is still alive for the older generation, but for the new one, it is already in the archive, and such a form is a bridge to convey the content to the young.

The project also includes a VR version, allowing the viewer to get immersive experiences, i.e., complete immersion in the environment. It requires equipment, which is not yet available to everyone, but with the current pace of technology development, this is a matter of the near future.

The project is complemented by a series of prints "Back side," in the tradition of "paper architecture." These are working materials showing separate angles and views "from the outside," which cannot be seen in the application.

The project "Virtual Museum of Memory" is not just an exhibition, but an experiment with forms and spaces, an exploration of the boundaries of reality, and an opportunity for each visitor to discover a new, virtual history.
