Action Sports Art Festival 2021 in Kasama

Kasama Geijutsu-no-mori Park

March 20th–21st, 2021

To coincide with the opening of a new skate park in Kasama Art Forest Park in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture, we hosted a night show that combined action sports with light and sound, offering a unique experience of art and entertainment. Japan's leading skateboarders and BMX performers wore cutting-edge tracking sensors called BlackTrax, which allowed us to implement real-time tracking effects. Visuals and lighting were synchronized with the performers' movements as they skated. Additionally, we used three Panasonic 50,000 lumen projectors, model PT RQ50KJ, to project images onto the skate park, which measures 36,000 mm in width and 21,000 mm in depth. This new projector model, intended for use in international competition venues like the Tokyo Olympics, was utilized for the first time in the skate park performance in Kasama City.
