The Coco Experience
2025

The Coco Experience is an interactive exhibition inspired by Disney’s film Coco, a film I deeply appreciate for its thoughtful and celebratory portrayal of Día de los Muertos. The project draws from the film’s visual language and emotional depth, honoring the way it centers family, memory, and connection across generations.

​

Each display features immersive 3D-rendered scenes composed of point clouds and models, with motion tracking that allows participants to influence both the audio and visuals in real time.

​

The installation includes beloved songs from the film, such as Un Poco Loco, Proud Corazón, and Remember Me (Lullaby).

​

A recurring motif throughout the experience is the marigold leaf, a symbol central to Miguel’s journey and his first magical encounter with Ernesto de la Cruz’s guitar.

​

As visitors move through the space, they can interact with these leaves using their bodies and hands, bringing the visual storytelling to life.
