Dandelion

7pm to 10pm

This interactive artwork by Japanese artist and founder of Tokyo-based creative company NAKED, INC., Ryotaro Muramatsu/NAKED, evokes the experience of making a wish on a dandelion. The artwork is part of Muramatsu’s Breath/Bless Project which connects people’s prayers for world peace.
You can make a wish by scanning a QR code and pointing your phone at a sensor, which triggers the scattering of dandelion fluffs in a dazzling showcase before the fluffs are carried to another location to produce a new flower. The installation will interact in real-time with similar installations set up in multiple locations in Japan as well as on an online platform.
