On the evening of November 10, the first virtual exhibition project of the Hermitage will open - “invisible broadcast”. This was announced by the head of the Department of Contemporary Art Dmitry Ozerkov.

The exhibition can be viewed on a special site . According to Ozerkov, the idea of an “invisible broadcast” is to explore the history of NFT projects and show work on the creative potential of blockchain technology. “Speaking is easier - to remove NFT from the context“ buy - sell ”and see what remains of art,” he explained.

The online exhibition can be seen in the virtual building of the exchange. Its historical interiors rethought digital architects. The exposition will include both the existing works of well-known NFT artists and works specially created for the Hermitage. Among the artists and artists are Kevin Abosh, Krista Kim, Kevin McCoy and others.

As noted in the Hermitage, the project will become the beginning of the construction of the “Heavenly Hermitage”. This is the name of the "ideal structure in the virtual noosphere, which in the future will be able to perform the functions of the museum digital double." The task of the "heavenly Hermitage" is to preserve, study and supplement the digital cultural treasure.
