BridA was formed in 1996 during long train journeys from Gorica to the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice, where Jurij Pavlica (b 1973), Klemen Brun (b 1974), Sendi Mango (b 1973) and Tom Kerševan (b 1970) studied. Its approach to collective work is conceptual: new ideas are not only realised efficiently but also confronted and analysed immediately. BridA works in various media of the visual arts, conceptually bridging science and art. 'By combining computer science and social studies with art theory and practice, their works are realised in a hybrid world where the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional co-exist, sometimes even occupying the same space. The formal and material aesthetic of the work regresses in favour of the concept, and yet it is not entirely debarred' (Noel Kelly). By measuring and gathering data from environment, building database(s) and converting it to digital form before layering it out in visual representation (form and colour) the collective also manages to transform the viewers into co-creators.

Apart from solo and group exhibitons held in Slovenia since 2003, BridA has presented its work (and work process) across Europe, eg the video installation Bordepass at the A+A Gallery, Venice, Do it yourself at the Academy of Fine Arts, Bologna, A Moment in Time at the Temple Bar Gallery in Dublin, the Modux Datascapes in Bangor, Maine, USA, Hollywood at the Gallery in Mestre, Italy, and the painting and video installation Nek Levi Tip at the Terpictura International Art Triangle at Biblioteca Statale Isontina, Gorizia. It also had a solo exhibition at the Austrian Parliament in Vienna and an exhibition of paintings at quantum_kaos, Centro Internazionale di Fisica Teorica Abdus Salam, ICTP Trieste (Italy).

In 2006 BridA collective were artists-in-residence at the Temple Bar Gallery in Dublin and at the ZKM Center for Arts and Media Techologies in Karlsruhe, Germany. In February 2007 BridA work was presented at the new Slovene LJU COSINUS BRX Gallery, Brussels with its Modux 2004 – 2006 solo show. The video work Borderpass is part of the 59-second festival collection, which travels round the world.
