On February 12, Russia's first phygital art gallery, VS Gallery, will open the exhibition "Symbiosis Vol. 2: Between Matter and Data." The project will bring together works by Aristarkh Chernyshev, one of Russia's pioneers of media art, and gallery resident Yulia Nizamutdinova (Julia Cyberflora).

The exhibition project outlines a new anthropology: from cosmic matter to the informational subject, from the primal biological impulse to digital consciousness. The artists invite viewers to consider what defines humanity—origin or information context, biological evolution or an algorithmic environment. And most importantly, what worlds are we creating today—inside and around us—at the intersection of space and data.
