To celebrate 150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland, a light event was held at the Federal Palace plaza in the Swiss capital city of Bern in September 2014. Initially, we proposed to produce projection mapping on the wall of the Federal Palace, but as the federal parliament did not grant permission, we thought, “Let’s challenge ourselves to the next method of expression.” and came up with an idea for the world’s largest outdoor interactive image projection.
So that the average citizen of Bern who had no particular interest in Japan could enjoy the art and technology of our country, we displayed the latest technology in specially setup tents in the daytime. Then, for the projection after sundown, using images of ukiyo-e that had been painted about 150 years ago as the base, we designed interactive effects of ripples of water banding outwards from the footprint. The original sound also served to provide a synergistic effect, and the event was tremendously popular. We were very satisfied with the result of about one in thirteen of the population of Bern taking this opportunity to play with light and become more familiar with Japanese culture.
