Inspiring Formosa: Organ Concert of Hsiao-Yi Yu

Inspiring Formosa: Organ Concert of Hsiao-Yi Yu premiered at the National Concert Hall in Taipei, introducing for the first time the fusion of ITRI’s cutting-edge GAI generative technology with international-level projection mapping and lighting design in a classical music setting. Produced by Jeff Lin and curated and performed by organist Hsiaoyi Yu, the project was realized with the Formosa Pipe Organ Society and ArtPure CULTURE & ART, establishing a landmark in cross-disciplinary performance where architecture, technology, culture, and entertainment converge.

The design concept combined AI generation × projection mapping × immersive lighting, transforming the concert hall into a “flowing architecture.” ITRI’s technology translated musical ideas into dynamic visuals, making the organ’s resonance visible across walls, columns, and domes. Light and sound were no longer separate elements but merged into a multi-sensory universe of music and space.

The program bridged Bach’s masterpieces, contemporary works, and the world premieres of the Inspiring Formosa series. Lighting and AI breathed with the music: Baroque order materialized as luminous structures, contemporary idioms unfolded as futuristic visions, and Taiwan’s Austronesian spirit was reimagined as a universal design language.

This production redefined what a classical concert could achieve, establishing Taiwan as the first in Asia to pioneer an immersive organ brand powered by AI and light-sculpting technologies. It set a new international benchmark in performance, architecture, entertainment, and immersive experience design, positioning Taiwan’s cultural innovation on the global stage.
