"Smart Illumination Yokohama 2014" report
As each event approaches, the city is decorated with dazzling illuminations and becomes a place where you can enjoy an extraordinary experience where you want to go out with friends, lovers, family, or even alone. This smart illumination, which started as a night view development project on Zou-no-hana Terrace, does more than just provide visual and extraordinary pleasure; it also provides an opportunity to learn about the passions and philosophies of artists, companies, students, and other artists. It has become an art event where you can
There are so many exhibits that it's easy to overlook them, so I'd like to introduce three of them.
First, we would like to introduce you to the eye-catching ``Moving Projection Theater Opening House'' by Kyota Takahashi and Yukio Shiba, which is located around Zou-no-hana Terrace.
This is a work in which a moving projector is used to project a face onto a building, giving the otherwise inorganic building, which normally lacks any sense of personality, a sense of individuality and starting a dialogue.
The projected faces looked a little three-dimensional, making the unique facial expressions feel more realistic and enlivening the story.
Additionally, this moving projector uses an electric car battery as its power source, which suggests that it is not only an art event, but also an environmental technology trade show.

Next, I would like to introduce Toru Oyamada 's "Chibibi" .
This is a participatory installation that involves the most primitive act for humans: lighting a fire and surrounding it.
Of course you can sit in a group, but you can also share your seats, so you might have a chance to meet people of different generations and genders...!
While feeling the warmth of a nostalgic little fire, we had a great time talking while drinking chai and soup from CAFE Ryusenkei , a mobile cafe based in Hakone located in the same space.
When I looked around me, I saw people talking at length, people enjoying burning firewood, people sketching flames...everyone was having fun in various ways.

There are other works at Pacifico Yokohama, but it's a little far to get there, so I took the shuttle ship ( Jin Si-young 's work `` Shuttleship FLOW '') that runs from Pukari Pier to Pier Zou-no-hana and went to Minato Mirai. We recommend that you take a leisurely stroll while admiring the night view.
The windows of the ship were lined with LED tubes, and I was able to take photos like this.

I thought it would be a good idea to take my camera and take my time to record the sights of Yokohama for five days, where I could encounter a different Yokohama than usual.
It's an art event where you can get something tangible and intangible that we can't introduce here, such as participatory installations, workshops, events, delicious mobile cafes, etc. When you return home, you may feel that you have gained something different than before.
