Apie savo kūrybą prof. Vesna Dragojlov pasakoja:

My work evolves around the intersection of art/design, technology and sciences. I am very interested in how art and design trends and research inform technology and the reverse. As a result, I have done research and created projects that address those topics: the impact of technology on the society in general, not just as tool but also a phenomenon that changes our relationships, personal, professional and societal; new art directions as a result of that intersection: generative art and bio and genetic art; new way of reading literature that embraces new reading experience as a result of new media and writing/reading integration - hypertextual fiction; and cyberfeminism, not within a strict term of feminism, but rather related to the role of women in the new information age. From a design perspective, I have done research, designed classes and have been teaching them, system design that entails many aspects of design under one umbrella of UX/UI design, or user experience design, with a user/people in a driving seat.
