T(n)C was founded in 2017 by Agnes Varnai and Tina Kult. They live and work in Vienna and experiment with a wide range of media,
including virtual reality, 3D, installation and fashion. By combining the different disciplines, they are researching immersive experiences to connect the digital and physical levels of realities. T(n)C believes in the power of joint efforts. Their aim is to expand the practices of collective storytelling with a collaborative approach.
The works of T(n)C have been exhibited at various locations, such as Kunstraum Niederösterreich (AT), projectcell36 (AT), contemporary 12-14 (AT) or Art+Text (HU). They were also part of the Vienna Design Week, the Take festival in Vienna and the re;publica festival in Berlin. The fashion magazine arachne dedicated a double page to the work Glue in Reality in its first edition. Readers can download the GIR app to their device and point it at the magazine to discover a small AR world growing out of the pages.
