Unique Properties: HitoBito is the art installation created for the lantern festival in Taipei City in 2023.

Dimensions & Packaging: 9.8 meter width, 7.8 meter depth, and 3.5 meter height
Tags: Art Installation, Lighting Installation, Bamboo, Taipei, Taiwan
Production Technology: Manually bent steel pipe structure is cladded with 1cm bamboo dowels in its width. A projector is installed at the center of installation to project the motion graphic onto the floor.
Design Challenge: The installation is the combination of industrial material and traditional Asian bamboo crafting. The organic shape of installation is composed with three dimensional curvature.

The event is integrated in the Taipei urban fabric with interaction with the visitors in the city. Hito bito is selected as one of new immigrant installation to celebrate diversity of Taiwan with many nations to work and live together.
Inspiration: The design inspiration is where people gather and feel the diversity of Taipei City. The weaved bamboo facade and white-painted steel pipes represent the traditional Asian crafting method meeting with architectural structure.
