Marina Gržinić and Aina Šmid have worked together since 1982. Before establishing the Art Video Institute they had a punk band and were involved in performance art. They have collaborated in more than 40 video art projects, made a short 16mm film and created numerous video and media installations; independently they have also directed several video documentaries and television productions.

In 1997 they realised an interactive CD-ROM for ZKM, Karlsruhe, and were presented in the fourth edition of the Artintact CD-ROM magazine, which focuses on interactive media art and is presented by the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM), Karlsruhe.
