Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec is an artist and musician working with the invisible ephemeral phenomena and the notion of space. His artistic practice is a poetic exploration of relationships between transitory and temporal flows like sound, weather phenomena and human activity and the architectural and social spaces they inhabit.

In his installations, he makes built environment sensitive to its immediate ephemeral surroundings and enhances temporality of lived space by creating situations where the outside and inside, the unpredictable and constructed, the permanent and temporal, converse.

His works encompasses interdisciplinary and mixed media installations, sound interventions and electro acoustic music.
