Created exclusively for Mercantile Immersive, Harper Alive transforms the Harpers’ iconic artwork into a breathtaking 360-degree journey of movement, light, music, and storytelling. Wander through vibrant forests, soar alongside birds, encounter playful wildlife, and explore bold geometric landscapes as their celebrated “minimal realism” comes alive all around you.
Your experience begins in the Oculus Gallery, where historical photographs, archival footage, and personal stories reveal the remarkable lives and artistic partnership of Charley and Edie Harper. Then, step into the Vista Room, where floor-to-ceiling LED displays, spatial audio, dynamic lighting, and an original musical score surround you in an unforgettable six-minute immersive experience.
Whether you’re a lifelong Harper admirer or discovering their work for the first time, Harper Alive offers a completely new way to experience two of Cincinnati’s most beloved artists.
