“Osmosis” is an immersive projection mapping installation, that embodies the essence of liminal space by seamlessly blending real-time AI-generated visuals with the urban environment. Like biological osmosis in biology, this artwork envisions a transformative journey where virtual elements permeate the building facade, blurring the boundaries between the tangible and the virtual.

Through its exploration of AI’s creative potential, Osmosis invites contemplation on the evolving relationship between technology and art in our interconnected world.
