COSMOS is a work of art that casts light onto the escalator hall of New Tokyo International Airport. During the day, the space is filled with colorful beams, as the sunbeam and lights from dicromirror mix with one another.
Every half hour, the shade on windows falls, to prompt a spectacle of light and sound.
Four different spectacles are presented each day: for morning, for afternoon, for evening and for night.
The common theme is the magnificent universe that sprawls from the earth to the cosmos.
