Published on November 14th, 2026Wednesday, 18 November 2026, at 7 PM
Cirkulacija 2, Ajdovščina Underpass, Ljubljana
You can also visit on Thursday, 19 November between 3 PM and 6 PM
As the culmination of the year-long interdisciplinary research project SYNTHSPA, Tanja Vujinović presents a multilayered environment of moving images, electronic sound, digital prints and physical objects, connected to newly developed virtual worlds.
Two projections of Cube Radio animations from the AVANTGARDENERS world establish an imaginary garden in which synthetic organisms, plants, hybrid bodies and fragments of gaming interfaces form an ever-changing system of images. An hour-long soundscape loop connects the projections into a shared spatial experience.
The video work SOURCE offers another perspective on the interweaving of natural forms, bodies and technological images. Shifting composite faces emerge from fragments of human, animal, plant and other material forms. Digital prints, artificial flowers and transparent inflatable chairs extend these images into physical space.
The virtual worlds developed as part of the project will also be accessible on the Second Life and VRChat platforms.
The exhibition will be open on 18 and 19 November 2026 at Cirkulacija 2.
