The Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery is hosting an awe-inspiring light show from November 10 to 12, featuring ten award-winning projection mapping works which won the 1 Minute Projection Mapping Competitions in the past.
But there’s more to see than just the best-of showcase. The Festival of Light area at Meiji Jingu Gaien Rubber Baseball Field will feature various digital art installations scattered across the grounds, starting with gigantic LED walls at the entrance. Once inside, you’ll see the Link Tower, a tall light-based sculpture inspired by Tokyo’s skyscrapers. This centrepiece also doubles a stage for immersive live performances incorporating digital lighting effects, sound and art.
There will be food trucks as well to supply the refreshments you need to fully enjoy the night. Kids however, will have access to a special playground, where they can interact with projection mapping effects on the ground.
The projection mapping showcase will happen three times a day at 5.30pm, 6.50pm and 8.10pm. The Festival of Light area, on the other hand, is open all evening from 5pm to 9pm. Entry is free, but you'll need to register for a ticket in advance via the website. Hurry though, as there are limited tickets for each day.
