"...YOU CAN BE THE MASTER OF YOUR BOAT, BUT YOU ARE NOT THE MASTER OF
THE WHOLE BLUE SEA."


Audiovisual kinetic installation by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec


The title of the installation is a quote from a folk song from
island KRK in Croatia. All the folk songs there are from ancient
times before Christianity, and also musically have little to do with
European western tradition on one hand, and occidental, Balkan
tradition on the other hand. By using mechanisation, wind dynamics,
computer programming and live video animation in a poetic way, the
installation is literally materialising the meaning of the last
verse of the song. It is retelling the ancient wisdom by creating a
mechanical metaphor.


BIOGRAPHY - Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec (1972, Ljubljana, Slovenia) was
studying clarinet, music composition and sonology (electronic music)
at The Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Holland, with amongst
others: Louis Andriessen and Clarence Barlow. He lives and works in
Ljubljana and Amsterdam. His work consists of multimedia audiovisual
installations, sound interventions in public spaces, composed,
electroacoustic and improvised music. One of the important issues in
his installation work is questioning the established forms of
communication of music and sound.



Exhibition : 15th July - 17th July
