SELECTED PROJECTS
Tanja Vujinovic creates immersive, synthetic worlds where digital architecture, stylized avatars, and sculptural formations converge into living, interactive environments. Her work fuses VR and AR interfaces, interactive installations, machinic soundscapes, and 3D forms to probe perception, identity, and the thresholds between physical, virtual, and imagined realities. Humor, glitch, and playful deformation operate as conceptual tools, while hyper-saturated aesthetics, cosmetic digitality, and tactile exaggeration explore the poetics of digital experience.
Vujinovic constructs spaces where avatars and synthetic organisms evolve, respond, and shift, engaging audiences in environments that feel dynamic, autonomous, and slightly mischievous. Recent projects extend this logic into post-human portraits, satirical wellness labs, and synthetic sensory theatres, blending sculptural thinking with procedural computation to create bold, uncanny, and sensorially rich ecosystems. Her work transforms digital pop aesthetics into critical, immersive environments, exposing the emotional, cultural, and bodily negotiations inherent in contemporary media.
