Maja Petrić is an artist and predoctoral associate at the University of Washington’s Center for Digital Art and Experimental Media (DXARTS). She holds a Masters degree in new media art from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, Interactive Telecommunications Program and Masters degree in journalism from University of Zagreb, Croatian Studies.

Her work explores methods of manipulating spatial experience in function of art. Through transformative spatial experiences, she aims to create new opportunities for accessing the sublime – transcendent qualities, whether physical, emotional, intellectual, metaphysical or artistic. By means of experimentation with both technology and traditional materials, she creates spatial installations for facilitating new interpretations and incarnations of the sublime.

Her approach to invention and exploration of new forms in digital and experimental art combines principles of architecture, lighting design, audiovisual systems, multisensory devices, electrical, mechanical and software engineering.

Umjetnica Maja Petrić trenutno radi kao znanstvena novakinja na doktorskom studiju Centra za digitalnu umjetnost i eksperimentalne medije (DXARTS) Sveučilišta Washington. Završila je magistarske studije na sveučilištima u New Yorku i Zagrebu. Na njujorškoj Tisch School of Arts na studiju nove medijske umjetnosti magistrirala je program interaktivnih telekomunikacija, a na zagrebačkim Hrvatskim studijima novinarstvo.

Njezin rad istražuje razne metode manipuliranja prostornim iskustvom u svrhu umjetnosti. Iskustvo prostornih transformacija nastoji potaknuti nove načine pristupanja sublimno – transcendentnom, bilo da se radi o fizičkom, emocionalnom, intelektualnom, metafizičkom ili umjetničkom. Prostorne instalacije za nova tumačenja i inkarnacije sublimnog ostvarene su kombiniranjem i eksperimentiranjem suvremenim tehnologijama i tradicionalnim materijalima.

U istraživanju i osmišljavanju novih oblika digitalne i eksperimentalne umjetnosti, u svojevrsnom spoju kombinirana su rješenja arhitekture, dizajna svjetla, audiovizualnih sustava, multisenzornih uređaja, električnog, mehaničkog i softverskog inženjerstva.

Sandro Đukić is an artist who in his works – spatial, architectonic and photographic installations and constructed films – moves from one medium to another with ease. By doing those movements, he applies different layers and meanings of spaces and by doing that he defines himself as virtual visual artist with tendency towards critical interpretation of space and date of inception of the artwork. The idea of including the viewers of one exhibition space into next work, enrolls from current work to another, new work continously.

Sandro Đukić was born 1964. in Zagreb. He graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1989. In period from 1989 to 1993 he attended Art Academy in Dusseldorf -class of prof. Nam June Paik and prof. Nan Hoover. At the same academy he attended postgraduate studies -class of prof. Nan Hoover, in period from 1993. to 1994. Exhibited in Slovenia, Germany, USA, Italy, Serbia, Austria and Croatia and lectured at the numerous conferences dedicated to media art -Rijeka, Zagreb, Plasy. In 1991. he received Croatian Artist Association Award.

Andreja Kuluncic is an artist who lives in Zagreb, Croatia. Her artistic practice is characterised by an interest in socially engaged themes, a confrontation with different audiences, and a collaboration on collective projects. She sets up her own interdisciplinary networks, regarding artistic work as a research in progress, a process of cooperation (co-creation) and self-organisation. She often asks the audience to actively participate and “finish” the work. Kuluncic’s work has been featured in exhibitions such as documenta 11, Manifesta4, Istanbul Biennial, as well as in the Whitney Museum and in PS1.
