Immersive Installations & Public Art

I specialize in transforming facades and public spaces into dynamic, large-scale canvases of light and art—a technique ideal for creating ephemeral, site-specific artworks on an architectural scale.

Eri Harigai's "Matsuri" Projection Mapping for EXPO 2025, world expo Osaka. Projected on Shining Hat.

Matsuri

Projection mapping piece for the EXPO 2025 World Expo, Osaka.

'Matsuri' was a projection mapping piece showcased on the 'Shining Hat' architecture during the opening month of the EXPO 2025 World Expo. The work was developed to align with the EXPO's official theme, "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," by using 3D animation to explore the intersection of technology and culture. The work offered a vibrant, artistic welcome to the global audience attending the Expo's opening month.

Planets

An immersive video work for the XR Florence Festival 2025, shown at the Cattedrale dell'Immagine

Created for the XR Florence Festival, 'Planets' is an immersive video that merges 3D and generative art. The visuals were produced using a hybrid workflow of Blender and TouchDesigner, where recorded audio data from space was used to directly inform and animate parts of the forms and atmospheres. The resulting piece took audiences on a journey through a dreamlike space environment, showcasing a fusion of intentional design and generative art.

Kaleidoscope

Projection mapping at the Pécs Cathedral for Zsolnay Light Art Festival, Hungary.

'Kaleidoscope' was a projection mapping work created for the Zsolnay Light Art Festival, where it was selected as a top-ten finalist. The piece was projected onto the facade of the historic Pécs Cathedral, with animations designed for the building's architecture through light, reflections and colors. The work was presented as part of the festival's main international competition to an audience of over 100,000 visitors.

Digital Sculptures

My digital art pieces are a blend of East Asian and Western aesthetics. Inspired by my cross-cultural background, these pieces explore shifting ideas of home and connection in digital and virtual spaces. Many of these works are preserved on the blockchain and exhibited internationally.
