Mr Muir, is the creative director of Auckland-based Angus Muir Design, specialising in highlighting space through design, installation and placemaking.
In Oamaru, Mr Muir was responsible for the lighting projection on the Whitestone Civic Trust building for Oamaru on Fire.
He was also responsible for the installation of orbs in Emulsion Lane, and since May, he has been working on an ''exciting new project'' with Steampunk HQ which will open soon.
''It's going to be pretty cool - it's something people probably haven't seen before,'' he said.
Mr Muir met Oamaru's Jan Kennedy at Art and About Sydney festival last year, where his Field installation (a design comprising 81 2.4m tall mirror posts) was one of the major commissioned works.
Their chance meeting brought him to Oamaru, for the annual Oamaru on Fire festival in May and he has fallen in love with the North Otago town.
For Oamaru on Fire, the Oamaru stone Whitestone Civic Trust building lent itself perfectly to lighting projection, he said.
About two months before Oamaru on Fire, Mr Muir visited Oamaru to take photos of the Civic Trust building.
From Auckland, he used the photos to create a 3-D model of the building and the content for the projection.
''Then it's just playing on the architecture and the detail of the building, because there's so many windows and squares, it lends itself really nicely,'' he said.
He travels the world for his work - installing designs, entering competitions and lighting up festivals.
This year so far, he has had projects in Sydney, Singapore, and he plans to travel to Beijing, Moscow and Amsterdam later this year.
His work encompasses the whole lighting process, from conceptual development through to design, project management and delivery.
He has a master's degree in architecture, but said he had always been interested in public space, events, art and installation.
Mr Muir grew up in Dunedin and lived in Invercargill and Christchurch before studying and basing his business in Auckland.
Each of his projects was different - it was all bespoke and unique to the site, he said.
''That's why I love it. Usually each week I'm in a different city, doing something different, working with different people.
"It never really feels like I'm actually working,'' he said.
He does not go too deeply into provoking thought or emotion from his work, it was about creating visually exciting art that people could enjoy, reflect on and take photos of.
''I don't make political statements, that's not my buzz.
"I want it to be stuff that people can enjoy, and that's accessible,'' he said.
