Sensorium, which was previously invested in by Russian businessman and billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, is organizing a virtual concert dedicated to the artist Vladimir Vysotsky.

The Sensorium project of Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov plans to organize a virtual concert in memory of Vladimir Vysotsky. About it informs RBC publication citing a source in the augmented and virtual reality market.
According to another source of RBC, close to one of the artists participating in the concert, the organizers of the event are now busy developing digital avatars – work on the project may be completed by the end of this year. Earlier, in May, about plans to hold a VR concert told composer and producer Yevgeny Kobylyansky in an interview with the Media 73 portal. According to him, the working title of the project is “Digital Immortality of Vladimir Vysotsky”, performers Grigory Leps, Nikita Dzhigurda and Diana Ankudinova will take part in it.
“This project brings together completely different artists, with whom we record Vladimir Semenovich’s songs in not even today’s, but tomorrow’s language of music – this is frank psychedelic, and not pop interpretations of Vysotsky, we are not connected by any formats. There are other requirements for artists, we work with digital avatars. <…> This is a long project, but very interesting: only with music I expect to figure it out within a year – not earlier, ”Kobylyansky said then.
Sensorium, founded in 2018, is developing the Sensorium Galaxy “virtual experience” platform. By data project website, Sensorium has attracted more than $100 million in private investment since its founding.
