• ITMO Master's Student on Creating Virtual Museums and Getting Motivated

  IT technologies have long become an integral part of medicine, finance, city planning and other areas. They are making their way into arts, too. Russia’s oldest theatres present multimedia plays, and, soon enough, museums will allow their visitors to hear the sounds of musical instruments that have long been held behind glass cases. Yulia Trushina helped implement the latter concept; in collaboration with a team from St. Petersburg State University, she helped create a virtual museum that brings to life musical instruments of old – and presented the project to one of the city’s museums. This year, Yulia has enrolled at ITMO University on the Master’s degree program “Multimedia Technologies in Theater, Cinema and Television.” In an interview with ITMO.NEWS, Ms. Trushina discussed what makes multimedia more interesting than classical art, why designers need to be good at math and how students can make the most of their newfound skills even in the course of their studies.
