Biography
Samantha Tauber (FRSA) builds immersive futures at the intersection of sound, story, and science.
​
​She is also the Space Diplomacy Envoy at the Garibay Institute. The Garibay Institute works to empower heads of governments, international organizations, academic institutions, and global leaders to become their better selves to best serve constituencies and sustain humanity. By leveraging our vast array of network partners and collaborators, we act as a unifying force for good.
As VNCCII, she operates through a digital persona—an AI superheroine shaped by speculative fiction, music production, and emerging technology. The result is a multidisciplinary practice that defies category and redefines performance as a multisensory, multiplatform experience.
VNCCII (an internationally trademarked brand), inspired by Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci, serves as a conscious and creative bridge to our abundant, transformative future. Harnessing the power of imagination through multimedia and transmedia storytelling, Samantha is building a visionary world-building franchise titled Galacta.i.ssace - a fusion of Galaxy, AI (Authentic Intelligence), and Renaissance.
​
Samantha Tauber is redefining science fiction and immersive entertainment through her visionary company, VNCCII. She is creating Galactaissance—a bold transmedia universe set on future Earth and across evolved space-faring civilizations. Combining art, music, performance, and technology, her work pushes boundaries with a cinematic tone reminiscent of Star Wars, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Willy Wonka, and Pixar’s Soul.
​
Her forthcoming science fiction novel 'Galactaissance and the VNCCII Awakening' (with a foreword written by Frank White, author of 'The Overview Effect') will travel aboard NASA’s Astrobotics Griffin Lander to the surface of the Moon, a symbolic extension of her commitment to storytelling on a planetary scale. It will be preserved via Nanofiche in the 'Galactic Library Preservation for Humanity,' designed to last millions of years.
​
In July 2025, Samantha sang her original composition 'Save Our Humanity' at the Kennedy Space Center for their historical 'Legacy of Launch' event.
Australian born and now based in London under the UK Global Talent Visa for Combined Arts, Tauber works with motion capture, Unreal Engine, AI, and extended reality to create richly detailed cinematic environments. Her live appearances at Brits Week, the Athens XR Summit, and the Metaverse Entertainment World Summit are not just performances but prototypes for the next era of human expression. She is the recipient of the Music Metaverse Award from the Metaverse Entertainment World Summit, named among the Top 100 Women of the Future and is a Forbes 30u30 nominee for Entertainment (2024) and Arts & Culture in Europe (2025).
Her ideas have been shared at the World Economic Forum, Web Summit, the Royal Society of Arts, Global Entrepreneurship Conference, and Abundance360. Across disciplines, Tauber is a sought-after voice in conversations around AI, identity, and the evolution of narrative forms.
With VNCCII, she is engaging a deeper inquiry into who we are, who we might become, and how technology can serve imagination rather than replace it. Through VNCCII, she offers a visionary, hopeful, and pragmatic narrative for the future of Earth and space.
​
This ambitious project aims to inspire future generations to become conscious stewards of Earth and pioneers of space-faring, galactic civilizations. VNCCII provides immersive frameworks and forward-thinking strategies through the integration of visioneering, strategic foresight, and narrative design. As a global brand, VNCCII exists to ignite the spirit of visionaries and conscious evolvers—championing the embodiment of human essence in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
