Light Art Park
Shinjuku Chuo Park will host its first-ever “Light Art Park,” an event that imagines and creates visions of future cities and ways of living.
By presenting light-based art in a public space—something still rare in Japan—the park will be transformed into a Light Art Park. The project aims to visualize the “Invisible Tokyo,” such as memories and emotions accumulated in the city, as well as the flow of wind and subtle atmospheres, through the medium of light.
In this open, park setting, the space will be reimagined as a “place of experience” where the city and its people can reconnect.
