[About ARTBAY ILLUMINATION]
This illumination event is held in cooperation with Illumination Island Odaiba as part of ARTBAY TOKYO link , a project that connects people and places with various arts in the Tokyo Waterfront City

CONCEPT "ARTBAY ILLUMINATION 2024 -ARIAKE × WINDSCAPE-" is a light installation that allows you to freely wander through the light and wind.
In Ariake in winter, about 300 "Kaze no Ho", which are flashed by wind, are arranged in a grid. The night view of the city is likened to a rural landscape, and the wind that drives through the coastal subcenter is visualized. We hope you will enjoy the combination of light and wind that makes use of the power of wind, and brings comfort and nostalgic yet new.

DETAILS

○ "Kaze no Ho"
An innovative eco-friendly and sustainable lighting system that does not require a power source and is powered only by wind power. A minimalist design that eliminates waste
The design maximizes wind power and brings out the beauty of light.
The crossflow (windmill) is made of lightweight and flexible polycarbonate. The unique motor structure
captures even a slight wind with a wind speed of 2 meters and converts it into electricity, creating a moving light.

○ A relaxing space
The venue features furniture that allows you to sit comfortably and look over the entire space.
There will also be a kitchen car featuring winter hot dishes available only on Fridays and Saturdays.
Please forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a quiet moment.
