haneda airport 空気の港
Monday, October 26th, 2009
There’s talk of making Haneda Airport truly international and into an Asian transfer hub to boot. One day it might actually happen. Right now though it’s a fun place to visit, thanks to Digital Public Art in Haneda Airport 空気の港. Conspirator Jonathan Pui (in the photo, the one in the hat) and I went there to enjoy hambugers at the West Park Cafe and play with these humanoid balloons. Just as interesting were a pair of tall wind funnels, looking like giant white vases for a long-stemmed rose, that blew out white leaves printed with eyes from their tops.
All together there are about 18 various installations, distributed around both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and they’ll be there until this Nov. 3. The art is really worth going out there–and the hamburgers too.
