Festival of Light Area

BLUE

In November, "TOKYO BLUE," with its main theme being "Indigo Blue," will be showcased. It will depict the essence of "Edo chic" and "Japan Blue" through the use of light. Additionally, the indigo blue, often referred to as the "color of victory," will adorn the festival as a symbolic hue representing the Winner's Exhibition where past international competition grand prize winners come together.

IMMERSIVE GATE Artist : MPLUSPLUS
Visitors will be welcomed to the festival by two massive, radiant gates standing two meters high and eight meters deep. This, together with motion graphics at TOKYO LIGHTS and 3DCG images produced under different themes for September and November, will create an immersive, otherworldly experience. The Festival of Light begins the moment you step through the gates.

LINK TOWER Artist : MPLUSPLUS
This installation, created by Minoru Fujimoto from MPLUSPLUS, is rooted in the theme of “light connecting a divided world.” An expression of Tokyo’s skyscrapers and sweeping subway lines, this tower of light stands tall as a symbol of the Festival of Light area. Extending out from the stage, light awakens hope and the imagination of the audience.

PERFORMANCE Artist : M++DANCERS , Choreographer:SHIRASU
Ten performers will use MPLUSPLUS’s original LED ribbons, masks, umbrellas, flags and other illuminated items in a dance performance on the stage of LINK TOWER. This dance performance is a masterpiece, evolving with the times and experiencing a further awakening with modern technology.

IMMERSIVE WALL Artist : THINK AND SENSE / Ryosoku-in Temple
With a giant wall standing 15-meters wide on two sides and four meters high, this immersive space produced by Shuhei Matsuyama from THINK AND SENSE uses AI-based technology to generate 3D images with point cloud data, creating an expression of tradition and nature.In the November, in collaboration with Vice Abbot Ito Toryo of Ryoan-ji Temple in Kyoto, we will create a Zen experience throughout the entire space.

PLAY GROUND Artist : diplo / PRISM
This space uses a combination of laser sensors and projection mapping to generate a diverse range of interactions. Patterns are created in the footsteps of people’s movements, and colors of images change, creating an enjoyable experience. The smooth, green barrier-free space serves as a nighttime playground for people of all ages.
