Tanja Vujinovic is a media artist working internationally since 1997. Her works have been exhibited at numerous galleries and museums around the world.
She graduated in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Arts in Belgrade in 1999. She was a guest student at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. She has a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Theory of Visual Culture from the Faculty of Humanities, University of Primorska, Koper.
Her work is a research-based art practice that merges traditional art disciplines with new technologies.
She focuses on the ways technology impacts human beings and nature, and through her work, she examines the relationships between human subjectivity, technology, and nature, as well as the amalgams formed by these relationships. Drawing from past, present and potential future scenarios, she develops hybrid installations as poetic systems for the rethinking of the world. Her works, both conceptual and intuitive, are a poetic investigation into probabilities. Her installations not only make us think but also provide us with sensorial experiences. Revolving around the metaphors of gardens, her recent projects envision the gardens of the future for the third millennium, where bionic systems of non-human agents work synergistically with the natural world, human beings, and renewed technologies.
Since 1997 her works have been exhibited at numerous 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.
