Vuk Ćosić is one of the pioneers of web art practitioners using a new form of art called the net.art.

Ćosić is a “hacker of ideas” as he suggests in his interview on LEA New Media Exhibition: “Our duty is to look at adjacent possible worlds and thus expand human experience…”

Vuk Ćosić co-founded of Ljudmila –a digital media lab for artists in Slovenia and of the ASCII Art Ensemble, Nettime, Syndicate, 7-11, and Ljubljana Digital Media Lab. Pioneer in net art and new media art as well as hacktivism. Well known for running ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) variants of iconic film scenes thus transforming code, image and pixel into a collision and immediate commentary.
