VNCCII is the visionary multi-award-winning performance alter ego of Samantha Tauber, an Australian-born, London-based (Global Talent Arts Visa UK) futuristic multidisciplinary artist, music producer, singer-songwriter, and creative technologist. As VNCCII, Tauber embodies a futuristic Super Sentient AI SuperHeroine digital avatar, merging music, live music performances, technology, and storytelling to craft immersive experiences that bridge the digital and physical worlds.

Since her emergence in 2018, VNCCII has revolutionized live performances through cutting-edge technologies such as motion capture, Unreal Game Engine, and extended reality (XR). These innovations create interactive, holographic narratives that captivate audiences while pushing the boundaries of multimedia entertainment.

She has performed live as a headliner at events such as the 2023 Brits Week sponsored by Mastercard, as well as the Athens XR Summit (sponsored by the Greek Government) and the Metaverse Entertainment World Summit in Monaco. Samantha has been awarded internationally for being a pioneer in the entertainment industry by bridging the gap between storytelling and futuristic multimedia technologies. She was awarded Top 100 Women of the Future, Music Metaverse Award at the Metaverse Entertainment World Summit, selected for ‘Future of Humanity’ Art exhibition at World Economic Forum in Davos, and is a Forbes 30under30 nominee for Entertainment in Europe.

Beyond music, VNCCII’s expanding universe includes her forthcoming sci-fi novel, “Galacta.i.ssance and the VNCCII Awakening”, a space opera exploring themes of self-discovery, liberation, and humanity’s connection to the cosmos. This groundbreaking work, with a foreword by Frank White, author of The Overview Effect, will be sent to the Moon in 2025 via NASA’s Astrobotics Griffin Lander Mission.

A thought leader in futurism, spatial computing, and AI, VNCCII has shared her perspectives at the World Economic Forum, Web Summit, and Royal Society of Arts. Her work has been recognized with the Music Metaverse Award and featured on the cover of the Royal Society of Arts Journal, cementing her reputation as a trailblazer in blending creativity with futuristic technologies.

As we approach the upcoming technological singularity, Samantha’s contributions, notably through her alter ego VNCCII, not only forecast the evolution of digital landscapes but actively shape it, making her a pivotal figure in tech innovation. VNCCII is here at service to humanity to uplift the collective consciousness and elevate the human emotional experience to one of joy and love where innovation drives humanity together towards a state of collective peace, love, and mutual respect.
