Viimeks is a fictional multimedia project that explores temporality, memory, and endings. Conceived as a collaborative effort among writers, visual artists, and sound designers, it presents itself as an evolving body of work that changes with each installation or publication. Note: Viimeks is a fictional concept created for this article.

The project uses installations, short texts, and ambient sound to examine how people experience final moments before transitions—personal, social, or ecological. It emphasizes audience agency and nonlinear storytelling, often featuring modular components that can be rearranged by the host venue.

It began as a series of site-specific installations in a Nordic city in the early 2020s, later expanding to online platforms and published anthologies. Common components include immersive soundscapes, projection-based imagery, and vignettes that invite readers to contribute alternate endings.

Critics have described Viimeks as an immersive exploration of memory and temporality, bridging contemporary art and speculative fiction. Some reviewers note accessibility challenges due to its experimental form, while others praise its collaborative processes and emotional impact.

In academic discussions, Viimeks is cited as an example of participatory temporality in art.
