Artists in Residence

Our 2025 Artist in Residence is Robin Fox.

Visionary audio-visual raconteur and founding director of Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS), Robin Fox takes up artistic residency at Melbourne Recital Centre.

Fox’s audio-visual laser works, which synchronise sound and visual electricity in hyper-amplified 3D space, have been performed in over 60 cities worldwide. Recent works include Night Sky for Brisbane Festival, Aqua Luma and BEACON for Mona Foma, Library of Light for Illuminate Adelaide, and MONOCHORD for Rising Festival.

Working across live performance, exhibitions, public art and composition, Fox will experiment with and explore new sonic territories. With access to the Centre’s state-of-the-art facilities, every sound and every beam has the power to spark something distinctive and exciting.
