Marija Mojca Pungerčar graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design and received an MFA in new genres at San Francisco Art Institute, California. She has worked in the field of contemporary visual art since 1983. Her work has a strong documentary character and engages various media: installation, video, performance. She also creates costume design for theatre.
Borut Savski is an intermedia artist who works in the domain of concepts and contexts, especially in connection with sound (and sound objects) as a metaphor. His background is independent radio, Internet media and electronics. His artistic installations are more conceptually orientated, while performances are more immediate contextual situations.
Marjan Kokot is an online news editor with a background in media activism and publishing.
Publishing
3via Art Association is trying to introduce the term publishing to the intermedia and multimedia art with the project Trivia Records (2007). They aim to overcome the limitations in accessibility of non-commercial works of art so that creativity would easily reach a wider audience and the next generations. Trivia Records functions as an inter-media archive, publisher, online classroom and shop. Their offer can be divided into three areas: Trivia Audio/Video, Trivia Prints, DIY instructions and Trivia Products produced by members of 3via Art Association. Most of the Audio/Video can be downloaded for free, such as sets of recordings from evening sessions at Cirkulacija 2 place at Tovarna Rog and Milan Kristl's Bandura Kejti in Ti in 2004. The products include Marija Mojca Pungerčar's Mortality Table, an art project in the form of a thematic chocolate bar an her book How Has Art History Changed published in December 2010, Milena Kosec's Pocket-sized State and MK and many others. The marketing strategy of the Trivia Records distribution channels provided by the world wide web, and the editions are targeted both at the local and international art markets.
