Dai Asano (b. 1996, Japan) is an artist based in New York. He creates an ephemeral public art through movement and sound in New York city. 

After studying business and working in corporate Japan, he left this path to pursue Fine Arts at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he developed a practice focused on art as an experience. Although trained in the photography department, his approach to time moves in the opposite direction—rather than capturing it, he lets it pass.
