-EXSTAT was established by Tanja Vujinović, author of numerous installations, video and sound works, and public art projects. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade and has been a guest student at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. She is currently pursuing postgraduate studies in Philosophy and Theory of Visual Culture at the University of Primorska Faculty of Humanities in Koper. From 2002-2006 she collaborated with Zvonka Simčič ([[CrossConversationCut]]) within the framework of the Automata/CCC Institute (detailed information on this is available at [http://exstat.org/exstat/automata/automata.html http://exstat.org/exstat/automata/automata.html]).
+Productions have been presented at festivals, such as ISEA2009, the 15th International Symposium on Electronic Art, Ars Electronica Linz, the Zeppelin Sound Art Festival in Barcelona, FILE &ndash; Electronic Language International Festival at Sao Paulo, FILE RIO in Rio de Janeiro, and others. [[Tanja Vujinović|Tanja Vujinović's]] Internet-based works were presented as part of the Theory Multimedia's NetNoise and the Web Biennial Istanbul to name just two.
-Tanja Vujinović's work includes intermedia sculptures, drawings, visual and sound installations, digital prints, and sound and video pieces, and works which simultaneously use drawing and sound pieces, analog and digital resources, or site-specific elements. Her intermedia interests are also reflected in the content of her work: anomalies and errors in intermedia textures through the creative (ab)use of technology, and information as noise. She creates 'discrete events in noisy domains', where she works on the unfolding of the signal and rhythmic images for touching and hearing. Her AV works and installations have been exhibited at numerous museums, galleries, media and film festivals throughout Europe and the United States, including: the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; Kunst Palast Museum Düesseldorf; the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Strasbourg; Kunsthaus Meran in Italy; and the Medienturm International Forum, Graz, Austria. Her works have also been included in numerous collective exhibitions such as the Madrid Abierto, Euroscreen21 project, Zero Visibility, Ctheory Multimedia NetNoise and Web Biennial Istanbul.
