==Projects==
The work of [[Marija Mojca Pungerčar]] has a strong documentary character and engages various media: installation, video, performance, etc. Among her outstanding projects produced by Trivia Art Association are the website project ''Safe House'', featuring material collected during her residency in New York City; ''Outside My Door'', ''Dresscode'', and ''A Story of Shoes'' (conceived together with [[Veronika Klančnik]]); ''Special Offer''; ''Stereo-Visions''; ''Singer''; ''Brotherhood and Unity'' (at [[Simulaker Gallery]]); ''Mortality Table'' and the ongoing project ''Socialdress''. Many projects were staged in various public places or exhibited in local galleries, such as [[P74 Centre and Gallery]].

[[Borut Savski]] is an intermedia artist working in the domain of concepts and contexts, especially in connection with sound (and sound objects) as a metaphor. His artistic installations are more conceptually oriented, such as the new media projects ''The Oracle''; ''The Dancer'' (with [[Stefan Doepner]]); ''Basic Questions''; and ''Videographics''.

==International collaboration==
In 2006 Trivia organised the international exchange project ''Intermediate Spaces Graz &ndash; Ljubljana'' in collaboration with [[Kapelica Gallery]] (Ljubljana) and ESC (Graz). It was part of the programme of Steirischer Herbst 2006. Reni Hofmueller, Miriam Raggam, Nicole Pruckermayr, [[Borut Savski]], [[Marija Mojca Pungerčar]], [[Stefan Doepner]], [[Luka Prinčič]], [[Matjaž Manček]], and many other artists participated on a two-week exchange in Ljubljana and Graz. The project stimulated the formation of the [[Cirkulacija 2]] art collective.

==Publishing==
Since 2007 Trivia Art Association has developed the publishing of new media and multimedia art under the label Trivia Records. They aim to overcome the limitations in accessibility of non-commercial works of art so that they can easily reach a wider audience and the next generations. The editions are targeted both at local and international art markets.

Trivia Records functions as a new media archive, publisher, online classroom, and shop. Their offer can be divided into four areas: Trivia Audio/Video, Trivia Prints, DIY Instructions, and Trivia Products produced by members of Trivia Art Association. Most of the Audio/Video can be downloaded for free, such as sets of recordings from evening sessions at [[Cirkulacija 2]]'s location at [[Tovarna Rog]] and [[Milan Kristl|Milan Kristl's]] ''Bandura Kejti in Ti'' (2004). The products include [[Marija Mojca Pungerčar|Marija Mojca Pungerčar's]] ''Mortality Table'', an art project in the form of a thematic chocolate bar and her book ''How Has Art History Changed'' published in December 2010; [[Milena Kosec|Milena Kosec's]] ''Pocket-sized State and MK''; and many others.

==Performances and exhibitions==
The performance ''Newly Composed Slovene Folk Songs'' presents the contemporary use of folk songs patterns and produces a dramatic tension. The songs were arranged by [[Bogdana Herman]] and [[Borut Savski]] and performed by them at [[Ljubljana Castle|Ljubljana Castle's]] Kazemate Gallery in September 2011; at [[Sajeta Creative Camp|Sajeta Festival]] in Tolmin in 2010; etc. 

Pieces from the series ''Strained Structures'' by [[Borut Savski]] were presented at the ''Device_art'' exhibition in Tokyo, Japan in 2010, within the ''Robot Museum'' exhibition in Maribor, in [[Trubar Literature House]] in 2011 and in Metropolis gallery on [[Kersnikova]] where visitors could see a cybernetic structure ''Tree of Knowledge'' in January 2012. The interactive sculpture ''Orakelj II'' by [[Borut Savski]] was presented in [[Likovni salon Celje]] as part of the ''Oracle'' project by [[Petra Kapš]].

==Workshops==
Trivia Art Association organises many workshops in Slovenia and abroad. In collaboration with [[Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab|Ljudmila]] they organised a Theremidi workshop held in Media Lab I'MM_ in Zagreb in December 2011 as well as the workshop "Termenvox, Theremin or Etervox" which took place at [[Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab|Ljudmila]] in October 2010. Both workshops were led by [[Borut Savski|Savski]]. 

Trivia Art Association has also produced many workshops connected with [[Marija Mojca Pungerčar|Marija Mojca Pungerčar's]] project ''Socialdress'': a workshop of recycling national symbols in Croatia in 2011; a workshop of recycling ties in 2011 in Romania; "Voluminous Trousers" (in collaboration with [[Domestic Research Society]]) in [[City Art Gallery Ljubljana]] in 2010; a workshop of recycling clothes (in collaboration with the [[International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns]]) in [[Alkatraz Gallery]]; etc.
