Tanja Vujinovic is a research-based intermedia artist working across virtual worlds, techno-organic sculpture, and electronic sound art.
Her practice investigates hybrid, surreal ecologies, synthetic beings, and the dynamics of virtual presence.
Her work critically explores identity, relationality, and perception under computational and algorithmic infrastructures.
Through immersive digital habitats, sculptural condensations, avatars, and sound environments, she constructs worlds where bodies, systems, and social ecologies are visible, negotiable, and generative.
For over two decades, she has exhibited internationally in museums, festivals, and galleries.
SELECTED PROJECTS
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).
