• 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.

• ITMO.GO: New Students Join the ITMO Family

  To accept the challenges of the 21st century, to remain open to the most outlandish ideas, to share their last bitcoin with their friends and to try not to hack Pentagon without a good reason – these are the promises made by the thousands of first-year students of the “first non-classical” as they began the new academic year at ITMO University. The massive open-air event unfolded on a square in front of the “Baltiyskiy Dom” theatre in Alexandrovskiy Park. There, ITMO University’s new students learned about the new opportunities provided to them by the university, raced against each other, played tug-of-war with an enormous USB cable and took part in raffles. As per tradition, they sealed a “Memory Stick” with their messages which will be read out in six years on their graduation day.
