Tanja Vujinovic
Tanja Vujinovic constructs hybrid virtual ecologies where techno-organic forms, synthetic avatars, and cybernetic soundscapes converge. Her work destabilizes digital identity, corporeality, and perception, turning interfaces into sites of critical inquiry. VR, AR, generative 3D environments, and interactive installations function as instruments to probe the thresholds between physical, virtual, and imagined realities, exposing the relational, emotional, and cultural dynamics of networked experience. Glitch, and synthetic humor operate as analytic tools, revealing the contradictions of post-Internet subjectivity and the provisional, mutable nature of the body. Her practice transforms immersive worlds into laboratories, speculative gardens, and experimental architectures where art, technology, and social experience collide.
Since 1997, Tanja Vujinovic’s works have been exhibited internationally at collective and solo shows at major galleries and museums, including the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (France), Museum Kunst Palast Düsseldorf (Germany), Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (USA), Kunsthaus Meran (Italy), Medienturm International Forum Graz (Austria), Cornerhouse Gallery Manchester (UK), Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum (Turkey), Kapelica Gallery Ljubljana (Slovenia), Fondation Vasarely Aix-en-Provence (France), and Künstlerhaus Vienna (Austria).
