Luke Augur

Luke Augur is a graphic designer specialising in the areas of 3D projection mapping and augmented sculpture. His interests in architectural theories heavily inspire the development of his visual work, continually questioning the communicative nature of projected light within the realms of architectural forms to reveal concepts beyond the physical surface.

Spatial Poetry

Inspired by Peter Zumthor’s philosophies on the atmospheres of architectural spaces.

The concept of this project is to explore the ideas of architectural atmospheres and how they can be revealed through a combination of poetry, animated typography and 3D projection mapping.

The series consists of five poems corresponding to five different rooms within a single building.

Each light installation is designed specifically to reflect their individual auras and collectively form the visual endeavour of spatial poetry.

Auditory Motion

AUDITORY MOTION is a collaborative project created by Luke Augur and Jacob Deakin.

The concept of this project is driven by the GENERATIVE nature of varying audio-reactive outputs and their production of visual embodiments in the context of a PERFORMANCE system.

Through a combination of generative animation and freestyle dance, the time and space of the audio-reactive processes simply abide by the RULES of a projection mapped architectural space.

Visualising the Panopticon

Presidio Modelo, “Model Prison”.

The prison was built from Bentham’s design of the panopticon, which is surveilled by one central watch tower within a rotunda (round building) lined with prison cells. The layout of the building allows the external and internal light to illuminate every cell, giving the watch tower a full range of view, ensuring the ability to observe the prisoners at any time.

The idea of this projection piece is to visualise the effects of Jeremy Bentham’s “Panopticon Theory of Surveillance”. Overall, the “feeling of endless scanning”, induces a sense of paranoia into the prisoners.
