Nick Roux is an artist working in sound and video. His work emerges from the junction of  technology, live performance and system design. Using modular synthesis, real-time video, acoustic sound, custom software, electronics and physical computing Nick also designs and builds bespoke devices for performance. 

Nick has composed and performed sound for numerous contemporary performances including ‘Public Actions’, ‘Erotic Dance’ and ‘Not About Face’ (Luke George and  Collaborators), ‘A Social Service’ (Nicola Gunn, Malthouse Theatre), ‘Game Show’ (Aphids  and Tristan Meecham), ‘Fun Run’ and ‘Congress’ (All The Queens Men). 

His practice has been influenced by the work he has done with video motion-tracking  pioneer and computing engineer Frieder Weiss. They met in 2006 while working on Glow,  a seminal dance work by Melbourne contemporary dance company Chunky Move utilising  the system Frieder developed. Over the years they have worked together on many large  scale interactive performances, the largest of which was King Kong the musical in 2013  which took realtime video generation and motion tracking to a never seen before scale.  

Based in Melbourne he collaborates with a vast selection of the contemporary arts  community. Operating within the live arts and contemporary performance sphere he has  worked with: Luke George and Collaborators, Tristan Meecham, Chunky Move, Robin Fox,  Aphids, Nicola Gunn, Sisters Grimm, Speak Percussion, Matthias Shack-Arnott, Antony  Hamilton Projects, Lucy Guerin Inc, Tamara Saulwick, All the Queens Men, Arts House,  Melbourne Theatre Company, The Malthouse Theatre, Chamber Made, Dance North,  Science Gallery Melbourne, TasDance, Marco Fusinato, Gideon Obarzanek and MONA.
