Diploma — this is the annual group exhibition of final projects from graduates across various disciplines at the HSE Art and Design School.
For several years, students have been learning to conceptualize the experience they gain from face-to-face interaction with the «real world.» By answering these questions, each artist develops their own way of engaging with reality—their own interface.

Memory Interface

Интерфейс —
This is a mode of connection, interaction, and translation—a boundary through which contact between different systems becomes possible. Interfaces—sensitive, dynamic, and distinct from one another—serve as channels for perception, recognition, and empathy.
Svetlana Astakhova, Mahalla Tinchlik, 2022–2023


Arina Vasilyeva (Arisha NovyDryg) from the NOVYBURG project, 2025
Arisha NovyDryg creates a robotic installation that prints an ancient architectural motif, where a personal memory becomes a machine-produced object. The interface becomes a co-creative process among the artist, the machine, and memory, transforming the past into a repeatable algorithm of existence.

Experience Interface
A direct and open address to the experience of the present moment—as a fragile, mutable, and sometimes anxious state occurring at the intersection of the personal and the social, the poetic and the political. The artists' focus is on how we perceive and make sense of the present—through internal states, images of decay, and the algorithms of social structure.


Parail Alexandr, On How Life Was Born
Alexandra Parail creates a multimedia installation space where insomnia, rituals, and repetition allow for a discussion of the instability of the present. Her works build a poetic interface between time and space, where absurdity is a means of navigation, and fragility is a form of presence.
