Nature.
Over 20 million people worldwide have experienced his artwork, which has toured India with the British Council, exhibited at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, Art Basel in Miami, and in Aarhus, Denmark, the European Capital of Culture.
In 2014, his giant installation of parks and slideshows made international headlines, creating 500+ news stories and reaching approximately 1 billion people worldwide.




Luke Jerram's multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live art projects. Living in the UK but working internationally since 1997, Jerram continues to reinvent his artistic practice by learning from each artwork. Because of his widely known yet diverse portfolio, Luke was described in a Bloomberg documentary as "probably the most famous artist you've never heard of.
More than an artist, Luke Jerram is a symbol of kinetic sculpture, active in the urban public art world, and his work is the pinnacle of kinetic sculptural public art, blending cultures from all over the world.



Acoustic Wind Pavilion
The sculpture is a giant organ designed to resonate and sing with the wind without any electricity or amplification. The vibrations of the strings attached to some of the pipes are transmitted through the skin covering the top and projected down through the pipes to the audience standing below the archway.Aeolus uses a network of organ strings to sonify the three-dimensional landscape of the wind. Almost as if a cat's whiskers are sensitive to the slightest touch, the tingles record the ever-changing winds around the artwork for visitors to hear. The goal is to allow the public to visualize this ever-changing wind map by interpreting the sounds around it.




This Way Forward
Good Energy commissioned Luke Jerram to create an experimental light projection. The one-night event was held at the GAIA Energy Centre in De La Baule, Cornwall. Projected onto a 100m high wind turbine, the artwork featured moving images and messages to world leaders. Climate streaks showing how the average temperature in the UK has risen over the last 100 years were transmitted to the turbine's blades and mast.
