The award-winning audiovisual experience from Australian artist and composer Robin Fox: lose yourself in simultaneous sound and light as Fox crafts an immersive blend of live electronic music and laser projections.

The latest work from Australian artist and composer Robin Fox, Triptych unites his two creative passions: electronic music and audiovisual mechanical synaesthesia. A marriage of sound and light, this immersive audiovisual experience uses custom-built hardware to create simultaneous sound from laser projections. The resulting audiovisual synchresis is nested within the vast soundscapes and raw voltage glitch composition that distinguish Fox’s work in the experimental electronic music world.

Triptych is influenced by the pioneering work of Polish émigré artist Stanislaus ‘Stan’ Ostoja-Kotkowski, who spent decades creating instruments and installations that treated sound and light as equal parts of a whole. Uniquely mapped to each performance venue, Triptych is an intentionally somatic work that can only be experienced in person; an invitation to community in the face of digital isolationism.

‘Fox pairs light with audio to create a fully synaesthetic experience that proposes different ways to imagine the structure of sound’ – The Quietus

‘the equivalent of seeing a major pop star condense their stadium show into your local band room’ – NME Magazine Australia

Please note: The performance involves the use of lasers, smoke and haze effects.

Robin Fox is an internationally recognised Australian audiovisual artist working across live performance, exhibitions, public art and contemporary dance composition. Presented around the world, his audiovisual laser works synchronise sound and visual electricity in hyper-amplified, three-dimensional space. Fox’s critically acclaimed and award-winning Triptych premiered at Unsound Krakow in 2022 and has toured extensively, headlining Berlin Atonal, Barbican (London), Ephemera (Warsaw) and OHM Festival Brisbane, among others. Other recent works include ICON for the Sydney Opera House 50th birthday; Night Sky for Brisbane Festival; Aqua Luma and BEACON for Mona Foma (Hobart); Library of Light for Illuminate Adelaide; and MONOCHORD for Rising Festival (Melbourne).
