Nicolas Molé was born in 1975 in France and now works and lives in Noumea, New Caledonia.

Nicolas is emerging as a key figure in the expression of contemporary Kanak culture. Moving fluently between drawing, animation and video, Nicolas constructs animated multi-media installations that often respond to the unique natural and cultural environment of New Caledonia. These works are often performative in nature, requiring an audience to activate or transform them. They are also interventionist, adapting an existing building, site or place. Nicolas has worked extensively with performance companies to create environments for their works. For APT8 he will work with ni-Vanuatu author and musician Marcel Meltherorong to create a multi-media installation that reflects upon, and provides a space for, contemporary Melanesian performance.
