==Background==
Graduating at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade (1999), collecting experiences and knowledge as a guest student at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and holding a Ph.D in Philosophy and Theory of Visual Culture from the [[Faculty of Humanities Koper, University of Primorska]], [[Tanja Vujinović]], as the most visible member of the Ultramono Institute, works as a media artist and researcher in the field of arts and technology. She uses custom electronics, textiles, and various software applications to create playful and bizarre experiences through dynamic works employing toy-like objects, touch, sound, and visuals. From 2001 till 2006 Vujinović collaborated with [[Zvonka T Simčič]] within Automata Institute, a production platform and also an artistic duo. Both Ultramono and [[CrossConversationCut]] institutes share this legacy.
