Omio practice consists of a variety of actions, situations, that are carried out in the realm of the public domain. These tactical actions take place out of institutional structures. They are small acts that provide momentary disruptions, ''cuts'', in the everyday rationalised order (function) of society. These acts take place were ''one stands and ties his shoelaces''. These acts in their majority are site oriented or multiple site oriented. They are based on a continuous collection and reassertion of environmental components in specific sites-structures (with structures here refering not only to architecture but also to the social structures that surround someone in his everyday life). The topography of each site is highly considered. Main intention of these actions is to infiltrate the site structure by intergrating into it in an attempt to deconstruct, thus unlocking layers between its fragments-components-mechanisms. Socioeconomic conditions, scale, location, local people (the workforce of each space) are some of the elements that are closely observed through this process and that directly ''shape'' the omio actions. Some of these interventions exist only in relation to a specific place, others can be redeployed in strictly similar conditions, others can be readjasted so that they become reactivated in different sites (situations). Every action is ephemeral since by itself, it rejects the notion of establishment.
