Tanja Vujinović is an internationally active media artist, known for her distinctive works exploring the relationship of the human being and technology.
Since 1997 her works have been exhibited at numerous significant galleries and museums around the world, such as the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Museum Kunst Palast in Düsseldorf, the Museum of Contemporary Art - Denver, Kunsthaus Meran, the Medienturm International Forum in Graz, the Cornerhouse Gallery in Manchester, the Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum, Kapelica Gallery in Ljubljana, Museum Fondation Vasarely in Aix en Provence, Künstlerhaus in Vienna and elsewhere.
Her installations, which she calls apparatuses for a rethinking of society, are composed of sound, video, objects, and interactive computer works that can be understood as anthropomorphic and abstract machines.
Tanja Vujinović (born in 1973) graduated in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Arts in Belgrade in the year 1999. She was a guest student of Jan Dibbets at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf and also holds a PhD in Philosophy and Theory of Visual Culture from the Faculty of Humanities, University of Primorska, Koper.
Her artworks and texts are based on interdisciplinary research in the fields of art and technology. She explores the relationship between consciousness and technology. Her works are made of interventions within the material infrastructure of the digital by using software applications, custom electronics and physical and digital objects. They either take the form of specific situations or dynamic environments, which are brought to life with the help of virtual machines.
