Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec (SI/NL) is Amsterdam-based artist and researcher with a particular focus on sound, new media, listening, movement, and questions of contemporary mediation in relation to the sense of (bodily) presence. His work consists of spatial and sound installations, events and interventions, where (un)mediated sonic events act as central elements that affectively evoke human bodily presence, while sometimes signalling its physical absence. The experiential works address visitors through sound, tactility, vibration and visual traces to question how human bodily presence can be felt and sensed besides interpretation and representation.

His work has been exhibited in venues such as: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia – Madrid, The Listening Biennial, Kunsthaus Graz, Tha National Gallery of Arts Tirana, Kapelica Gallery – Ljubljana, Errant Sound – Berlin, Aksioma Project Space – Ljubljana, Sonic Acts Festival – Amsterdam, Sound Disobedience Festival – Ljubljana, Ars Electronica Festival – Linz, V2_Lab for the Unstable Media – Rotterdam, Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, +MSUM – Ljubljana, Cukrarna Gallery – Ljubljana, AV Festival – Newcastle Upon Tyne, ŠKUC Gallery – Ljubljana, State Museum of Contemporary Art – Thessaloniki,  Gwangju Museum of Art – South Korea, Reseach Pavilion – Venice, Madrid Abierto, Museums Quartier – Vienna, Sound Gallery – Bergen.
