BridA

BridA is a group of four Slovenian artists who formed a working collaborative while working on their respective graduate degrees. Their work spans between the technological and traditional as well as the scientific and artistic. Through their work they explore the possibilities of the information of science as expressible visual content in the art. Their methods cross continually from the digital to the analog. As a collective they work not only as artists but entrepreneurs within the context of the newly forming creative economy of Slovenia
