A custom handheld device for participants was developed for this project, utilizing Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation’s SPRESENSE™. The device incorporates GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), LED, and speaker, allowing the light and sound emitted by the device to change based on location data.

Date & Time: November 16, 2019 at 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Venues: Daihonzan of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism Zojoji, Minato City Shiba Park and Metropolitan Shiba Park.

A public art project combining light and sound,held at Zojoji Temple, a major Jodo-shu temple, and its surrounding area in Shiba, Minato City, Tokyo. Architectural and topographical data from Zojoji Temple were analyzed and encoded using programming, and this information was embedded to create a virtual space where light and sound could be transformed. The light and sound from balloon-shaped devices changed in response to participants' movements. Additionally, the dance company ELEVENPLAY, led by choreographer MIKIKO, moved freely around the various stages and venues scattered throughout the site, delivering simultaneous performances. The voice of Miu Sakamoto enveloped participants as they navigated around Zojoji Temple through 1000 devices.

*This project was held as part of Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL Special 13, organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture's Arts Council Tokyo.
