Overview

How do you hear what you see and feel? That's a question that most of us haven't thought much about — but Australian audiovisual artist Robin Fox has. A favourite at Aussie art events, including busting out beams of light at RISING and Mona Foma, he blends light and sound in laser works that are all about turning what our eyes perceive, ears hear and skin senses into a three-dimensional show. His latest: Brisbane Constellation at Brisbane Powerhouse's new Night Feast.

One of two of Fox's projects in Brisbane in March — the other: being part of Powerhouse's also-debuting "festival of other music" ΩHM — his site-specific Brisbane Constellation is all tones and rays, unsurprisingly. Here, he's using a matrix of crystal refractors to put on a spectacle, complete with colour explosions that look out of this world.

It's one of the arts events as part of the Night Feast lineup, alongside plenty of food and drinks by the river across the neon-lit market's March debut.

Head along from 4.30–9.30pm Wednesday–Sunday between Wednesday, March 1–Sunday, March 26 — for its first two weeks, then starting at 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays from Saturday, March 18 — for an audiovisual journey, in what marks Fox's latest piece in his latest city. All up, his work has graced 60 spots worldwide and counting.
