Understanding media as objects and technologies which provide transfer of experience in culture and other spaces of material world leads us to the idea of special periods in culture — transitive time. Our present time is the best example of transitivity. Nowadays the large number of media are generated in mediaspace, which has its own semiotics and lines of extention. This developed matrix of media gives us the chance to transform the traditional exhibition forms in museums, because it changes radically the aesthetic project of museum.
Manifestation of cultural and semantic diversity in contemporary museum representation is not possible without media technologies. The core of media technology is the concept of new media as a way of re-understanding media. The comtemporary art and museum spaces represent us the world of new media through video-art and different types of installations. The main goal of media technologies in contemporary museum is to present a special place for art in multicultural and global-thinking world, thus revealing the features of museum in the changing world and for the new modes of perception.
