Sutu Campbell

An award-winning augmented reality designer, avant-garde movie producer, and multimedia artist, Sutu is an architect of our digital, connected future. Whether it’s augmented comics, virtual concerts, or extended reality filmmaking, he unlocks the meta world and bends it to do his artistic bidding. Sutu is driven by a desire to bring digital culture, art, and technology to the four corners of the globe and make them accessible to underrepresented populations. He often locates his projects and presentations among isolated populations and involves the residents in creating the interactive content. These engagements allow him to provide community, social, and mentoring services while exposing new audiences to his vision. Sutu’s multimedia project “Neomad,” was created in collaboration with 40 young people in remote western Australia. Much of his work sheds light on poignant social issues, such as the webcomic “These Memories Won’t Last,” his sensitive portrayal of his grandfather’s struggle with dementia and “Mind at War,” a virtual reality portrayal of the ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder. He served as art director for “Breonna’s Garden,” an augmented reality experience designed to foster healing and reconciliation in the memory of Breonna Taylor. Sutu has lent his creative and technical genius to projects spearheaded by Stephen Speilberg, John Legend, Google, Marvel, and Disney. But much of the Australian’s work and life have focused on fomenting tangible social improvement and delivering messages of hope through the innovative digital experiences he creates. His latest project, “Sutuverse,” is his perception of how the metaverse can unlock technology to unleash productivity, creativity, community spirit, and social understanding while nurturing artists and supporting a space where they can express themselves.
