Mikka Byarugaba, known under the pseudonym Mikkapedia, is a multidisciplinary digital artist based in Sydney, Australia.
Entirely self-taught, Mikka began his artistic journey exploring photography, videography, and experimental sound with his SP404 sampler. The release of Snapchat Lens Studio in December 2017 sparked a deep interest in augmented reality (AR), and by 2020 he had turned a personal passion into a professional practice.
Today, Mikkapedia specialises in 3D digital production, AI, and creative direction, creating interactive installations, immersive experiences, and unique digital campaigns. His work bridges fashion, beauty, technology, and contemporary art, collaborating with prestigious global and Australian brands such as Dior, Chanel, Microsoft Surface, Estée Lauder, and Vogue Australia.
His creative output is constantly evolving, driven by experimentation with emerging technologies, continually exploring new ways to bridge digital and physical experiences that deeply engage audiences.
By merging traditional methods with contemporary digital tools, Mikkapedia pushes the boundaries of art and technology, offering experiences that both challenge perceptions and inspire curiosity.
