We recently had the chance to connect with Axuro LTD and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Axuro LTD, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
Hello it’s great to be here. At first I was intimidated by the technical side of art, with 3D printing, electronics tinkering, and CNC machining feeling far out of reach, but now I’ve been embracing them as powerful tools in my creative process. I’ve recently released a series of color changing lamps, and I’m exploring new techniques to etch metal panels using lasers. I’ve also been practicing tattooing, and plan to start offering flash tattoos in the next few months.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Waldo Harrison and I’m a multimedia artist exploring the intersection of technology and fine art under my pseudonym Axuro LTD. I use cymatics to distort patterns and color spectrums, layering them with optical illusions and wireframes, then bring the designs into physical form through mediums like painted and etched aluminum, 3D printing, custom electronics, tattoos, fashion, and more. I started creating art in 2013, originally designing lapel pins and selling them out of a backpack at music festivals. In 2021, after years of planning, I shifted towards futurism and sleek, psychedelic aesthetics, and began releasing art as Axuro LTD.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
There are numerous moments that inspired my art style, notably experiences from my younger years at underground psytrance and drum & bass raves. I remember one night I got a spinning LED wand, the kind that make light trails when you wave it. When I spun it just right, reality seemed to glitch, as if I’d found a crack in the simulation. That moment sparked my fascination with lighting as an art form.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There have been times I considered stepping away from art, usually during stretches where I felt disconnected from my work. But those moments pushed me to evolve. I would rebrand, shift my style, or explore a new medium, and that process would reignite my excitement. I think the key has always been allowing the work to grow with me rather than forcing it to stay the same.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I’m dedicated to creating high-quality, fine art that holds its value and uses the best materials, but it’s important to me that my work reaches beyond elite collectors. My goal is to make art that feels valuable and lasting, but still within reach. I’ve committed to offering accessible artworks, like prints, pins, and my Aura lamps. For those with more to invest, I create painted and engraved aluminum panels as well as custom lighting sculptures. Whether someone buys a print or commissions a large-scale installation, they’re stepping into the same vision.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
Some people might just see my art as gadgets and flashy visuals, but for me it’s not just about making something trippy. My art is about making people experience something deeper and questioning reality, trying to find that glitch in the simulation. The focus isn’t on the tech, but rather utilizing the precision and immersive effects that technology brings. Ultimately, I want to inspire others to innovate and push creative boundaries. Whether it’s an art installation or an original piece, everything I create is part of my vision of the Ⱥʀᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ.
