ABOUT THE EXHIBITION (PDF)

Tanja Vujinović’s practice is deeply rooted in the overlaps and in-between spaces of art, technology, and science. In her multidisciplinary projects, she intertwines virtual reality, principles of video games, storytelling, 3D modeling, AI, and electronic music to create new poetic and immersive worlds as social spaces for rethinking the present and imagining a potentially utopian future anew. Recently, the artist has been developing a series of audio-visual artworks, video camera filters and digital images based on research on being embodied in immersive spaces and the development of avatars driven by the general urge to create, approach, and communicate with our Synthetic Other.

Tanja Vujinović is a new media, visual and sound artist. Her works have been shown in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Strasbourg, Kunst Palast Museum in Düsseldorf, Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, Kunsthaus in Merano, Museum of Contemporary Art in Istanbul, KIBLA PORTAL in Maribor, Kapelica Gallery in Ljubljana, Museum Vasarely Foundation in Aix-en-Provence, and Künstlerhaus in Vienna. She has presented at festivals such as ISEA2009 in Belfast, Ars Electronica in Linz, Kinetica Art Fair in London, Spor Festival in Aarhus, FILE Festival in Sao Paulo, FILE RIO in Rio de Janeiro and KIBLIX 2020–2021 and KIBLIX 2022. She completed her Bachelor studies in Fine Arts, and in 2010, she obtained a PhD in Philosophy and Theory of Visual Culture. Tanja is the founder of Ultramono, a cybernetic art hub. As a passionate supporter of rave culture she has created a few techno albums and is also DJing herself.
