"The Russian binary code was created to discuss the unique Russian culture. In the contemporary discourse there is room for traditions and their influence on the modern life, for the problems ofthe present and the imminent future. It is a project about uniqueness, literality and synthesis."

project aims to look behind the painted façade of familiar images and see the inner code that connects people and locations, history and the future, art and science, the spiritual to the down-to earth in our country.

The code is the basis of everything there is. The code is the beginning of new life and modern technology, and the world culture is also based on a code.
Codes describe complicated phenomena in simple language. The DNA code is combinations of four amino acids that all living things are assembled from. The binary code is a combination of 1 and 0 that lies at the basis of all modern technology. 1 is for yes, 0 is for no, everything is simple and univocal. But Russia has its own unique binary code, a code that consists of 2 0 2 0
