Installation UNHEARD consists of a microphone, a clock and custom made software that resets the clock to zero every time it detects a sudden peak in loudness of the sonic ambiance of the place where it is installed. Listening to the ambient sound and displaying the passing of clocked time in-between occurring auditory events, the installation articulates the relation between the measured time and the time as it is being experienced.

This setting invites the visitors to focus on listening along and to explore their own margins of hearing and attention, while it is suggesting a shadow temporality unfolding in the intertwining zone between the representation and the experience of the passing of time.

On the artist

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

In his installations, he builds an environment sensitive to its immediate ephemeral surroundings, and enhances its temporal dimension by creating situations where the outside and inside, the unpredictable and constructed, the permanent and temporal converse. His works encompass interdisciplinary and mixed media installations, sound interventions and electro acoustic music.

Unheard is a part of artistic research project Rhythms of Presence, carried out under the
Norwegian Artistic Research Programme at Bergen Academy of Art and Design -  Norway.
