Japanese artist, Chiho Aoshima, has been given her first major public art commission in the UK. Aoshima’s artwork is in London’s Gloucester Road subway station, and is spread over 17 of the underground arches. The piece is titled “City Glow, Mountain Whisper”, and presents a fantasy landscape transforming from day to night, showing urban and rural scenes. Created digitally and printed onto vinyl, the artwork is to represent subway passengers’ daily life. Response to the artwork has been very positive, with one fan saying, “Thank you for making what could be yet another dreary commute through London a sublime experience. I look forward to passing through Gloucester Road Station at both ends of the day.”

Pika Pika is the creation of friends Takeshi Nagata & Kazue Monno, who make up the creative team known as Tochka Factory. The project involves the taking of photographs using long exposures as the subject holds a flashlight or an LED. Numerous photos are taken and then put together to form an animation of light. The team is big on community spirit, and often invites anyone to take part in the process. Their next event is at Aoyama Cemetery, entitled “Shoot a ghost”. Eep! Check out the videos on their site.
