Sophie Auger is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and visiting professor at the UQAM School of Design.
She works across video installation, hybrid publishing, photography, and circuit bending.
Her research focuses on the beliefs and superstitions generated by digital technologies, and on how their invisible systems shape the ways we see, interpret, and inhabit the world.

TECHNOMAGIC TECHNICOLOR
Vox Populi, Philadelphia
July 5–28, 2024
Technomagic Technicolor is an interactive video installation in which the projector reveals its own projection mechanism. Inside a DLP (Digital Light Processing) projector, a wheel fitted with red, green, and blue color filters normally recombines light to produce the projected image. In this work, the projector was modified through circuit bending to control the rotational speed of the wheel and make each of the three colors visible in succession.
The projection therefore alternates between red, green, and blue color fields in a circular motion. This chromatic decomposition becomes the driving force of the animation itself: although the projected image remains static, the impression of movement emerges solely from the activity of the projector’s internal mechanism.
