About this event

A light-and-sound installation by JR East across three neighborhoods, Takeshiba, Takanawa and Oimachi, held for the first time. Sensors detect people's movement, so walking or waving your arms creates light and sound, and the three venues send signals to each other. Since you play by moving rather than just watching, we recommend hopping between venues in one evening to compare them.
