Supermono 2/3 is a tactile and sonic environment. It consists of a multitude of objects incorporating custom electronic or mechanical components. They embody the features of contemporary toys by means of simplified cute shapes, close personal contact with users, and the construction of micro-worlds through modularity and limited, mostly sound-based responsiveness.

The setup consists of three groups of objects. Two objects from the first group have interconnected components that enable the transformation of sound and video signals. In second segment, contact microphones or devices for the production of minimalistic sounds are placed within a number of smaller objects that react to touch, and produce various sounds that after being amplified and modulated are returned to the space, to join the sound generated from the synthetic sources. The sound is reproduced through the objects from the third group, where microphones are placed within amorphous bodies, which each reproduces a mono signal.

A booklet with an audio CD, Supermono 1, published for this occasion, and the installation Supermono 2/3 are both part of the ongoing cycle of works Discrete Events in Noisy Domains, consisting of tactile-sonic objects or ambients based on multiple nonlinear video and sound systems that recode events into audio-visual noisy data streams.

Tanja Vujinovic is a visual and sound artist. Her work includes multimedia objects and sound and video pieces. She is the author of a number of video and sound works, installations, and public art projects.
She is currently working on "Discrete Events in Noisy Domains", tactile-sonic objects or ambients made of multiple nonlinear video and sound systems that recode events into audio-visual noisy data streams.
Her audio-visual works and installations have been exhibited at numerous galleries and museums, such as the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Strasbourg, the Kunst Palast Museum Düesseldorf, the Museum of Contemporary Art - Denver, Kunsthaus Meran, the Medienturm International Forum in Graz, the Cornerhouse Gallery in Manchester, the Istanbul Contemporary Art Museum, and Cultural Center Rex, Belgrade. Her works have been presented at numerous festivals, such as the International Media Art Biennale WRO in Wroclaw, Videomedeja in Novi Sad, the Spor Festival in Arhus, the Zeppelin Sound Art Festival in Barcelona, and many others. She has also presented her work at various events, such as the Madrid Abierto in Madrid, Euroscreen21 at various locations, Continental Breakfast in Maribor, and Nuit Blanche in Paris. She has presented her Internet-based works as part of the Ctheory Multimedia's NetNoise, the Web Biennial Istanbul, Helium by Ballongmagasinet and NIFCA, and Sinnlos WebArt.

Cultural Society B-51 (Kulturno drustvo B-51) is a non-institutional organization founded in 1991. Ever since its establishment it has been involved in contemporary theatre and dance production, as well as the development, organization, and promotion of contemporary art and culture.

Exstat (Zavod Exstat) is a non-profit multimedia art production and research institution. It continues the work of the institution Automata, which Tanja Vujinovic co-founded in 2002 and reorganized together with Jan Kusej as Exstat in 2006.

Supermono 2/3 je taktilno in zvočno okolje, ki ga sestavlja množica objektov z vgrajenimi elektronskimi in mehaničnimi komponentami. Objekti utelešajo lastnosti sodobnih igrač, te se odražajo v poenostavljenih in ljubkih formah, s tendenco po vzpostavljanju osebnega stika z uporabnikom ter možnostjo modularnega oblikovanja mikrosvetov, ki temeljijo na omejeni, največkrat na zvoku osnovani odzivnosti.
Objekti so razdeljeni v tri skupine. Dva objekta iz prve skupine sta narejena iz povezanih elektronskih komponent, s pomočjo katerih se modulirajo zvočni in video signali. V več manjših objektov iz druge skupine so vgrajeni kontaktni mikrofoni, ali pa miniaturne naprave za proizvajanje minimalističnih zvokov, ki reagirajo na dotik. Zvok se ojačan in spremenjen predvaja v razstavnem prostoru skupaj z zvokom - generiranim iz sintetičnih vzorcev - ki se v prostor predvaja skozi objekte tretje skupine. V slednjo sodijo elementi, sestavljeni iz mikro zvočnikov, ki so umeščeni v amorfna telesa, vsako izmed teh teles pa predvaja lasten mono signal.
Publikacija z zgoščenko Supermono 1, ki bo predstavljena ob tej priložnosti, in instalacija Supermono 2/3 sta del potekajočega cikla Diskretni dogodki v hrupnih domenah, niza taktilno-soničnih objektov oziroma okolij, ki jih sestavlja več nelinearnih video in zvočnih sistemov, ki (re)kodirajo dogodke v hrupne zvočno-vizualne podatkovne tokove.

Tanja Vujinović je v Ljubljani živeča vizualna umetnica in umetnica zvoka. Diplomirala je leta 1999 na Akademiji za likovno umetnost v Beogradu in bila gostujoči študent na Akademiji za umetnost v Düsseldorfu. Trenutno je na podiplomskem študiju Filozofije in teorije vizualne kulture na Fakulteti za humanistične študije v Kopru.
Njeno delo obsega multimedijske objekte ter zvočna in video dela. Trenutno dela na “Diskretnih dogodkih v hrupnih domenah”, taktilno-soničnih objektih ali okoljih sestavljenih iz več nelinearnih video in zvočnih sistemov, ki rekodirajo dogodke v hrupne zvočno-vizualne podatkovne tokove.
Njena avdio-vizualna dela in instalacije so bile razstavljane v številnih galerijah in muzejih, vključno z Muzejem sodobne umetnosti v Strasbourgu, Kunst Palast Muzejem v Düsseldorfu, Muzejem sodobne umetnosti v Denverju, v Kunsthausu v Meranu, v Mednarodnem forumu Medienturm v Gradcu, Cornerhouse galeriji v Manchestru, Muzeju sodobne umetnosti v Istanbulu in v Kulturnem Centru Rex v Beogradu. Njena dela so bila predstavljena na številnih festivalih, kot so Mednarodni bienale medijske umetnosti WRO v Wroclawu, Videomedeja v Novem Sadu, Spor Festival v Arhusu, Zeppelin Festival umetnosti zvoka v Barceloni in na mnogih drugih. Svoja dela je predstavila tudi v okviru dogodkov, kot so Madrid Abierto v Madridu, Euroscreen21 na različnih lokacijah, Kontinentalni zajtrk v Mariboru in Nuit Blanche v Parizu. Svoja dela, locirana na internetu, je predstavila v okviru projekta Ctheory Multimedia NetNoise, Web Bienala Istanbul, projekta Helium Ballongmagasineta in NIFCA, ter v okviru Sinnlos WebArt segmenta.
Kulturno društvo B-51 je neinstitucionalna organizacija, ki je bila ustanovljena leta 1991. Primarno se društvo ukvarja z organizacijo mednarodnih gledaliških festivalov in produkcijo na področju sodobnih uprizoritvenih umetnosti, v zadnjem času pa deluje tudi na področju vizualnih in intermedijskih umetnosti.
Zavod Exstat je neprofitni inštitut za produkcijo in raziskovanje multimedijskih umetnosti. Razvija delo inštituta Automata, katerega so-ustanoviteljica je bila v letu 2002 Tanja Vujinović in ki ga je konec leta 2006 reorganizirala v Zavod Exstat skupaj z Janom Kušejem.
