Abeno Harukas Installation

Abeno Harukas is Japan’s tallest skyscraper complex in Osaka. We create an installation space that immerses visitors in light and ambient sound in the escalator area between the restaurant floor (14F) and the museum floor (16F) in Harukas as a permanent exhibition. The gradation of light and sound greets visitors with variation depending on time and seasons. The changing light responds to the sound. Real-time text messages appear on the screen. The motion graphics include the spectacle of Abeno area, where Harukas is centrally based with different angles. The digital media space embodies the concept of Harukas, ‘the solid city presenting the future’ uniting light, sound and motion graphics. We developed the permanent exhibition system with different pieces of software connected on a network, which allows both daily and seasonal changes.
