Epson, a digital projector company, joined multidisciplinary artist Allison "Hueman" Torneros as the projector sponsor for her first immersive art experience, "Homebody," according to a company press release.

Spanning over 20,000 square feet, "Homebody" explores themes of identity within the self and the larger community through murals, portraits and sculptures displayed through projection mapping and augmented reality. Torneros collaborated with projection designer Craig Winslow to create the immersive experience being hosted at Ciel Creative Space in Berkeley, California from Jan. 28 - Feb. 20.

For "Homebody," Torneros used Epson LightScene and Pro Series projectors in three installations to add projection mapping for a 360-degree experience of the artwork.

"The past two years have affected the way people look at themselves and each other, and the collective experience in isolation is something worth reflecting on. With this exhibit, I wanted to explore identity in the context of an unprecedented moment in time, meeting at the intersection of art and technology," Torneros said in the release. "Epson's laser projection technology has enabled me to create an immersive installation — submerging visitors in a colorful mash-up of the abstract and figurative, providing a 360-degree experience that plays with themes of transparency, light, color and space."

The exhibit is set within one city block stretching 40,000 square feet and is run by an all-female team with a mission to make space more human and bring awareness to Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) business owners.

"'Hueman's' exhibit is a beautiful example of how projection technology can expand possibilities and applications to create an immersive art experience," Remi Del Mar, senior product manager, Epson America, said in the release. "Epson's laser projectors enable artists and designers to experiment with digital media and change the perception of any space or object. This is the type of unbridled creativity that is only possible with projection light."
