Experience LOOP 2126 ∞prelude∞: Where Fashion Meets Science Fiction

Scheduled to debut on April 25, 2026, in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district, LOOP 2126 ∞prelude∞ promises an interactive science fiction festival ready to redefine artistic expressions. This innovative event is focused on various genres including AI creative arts, social media, dance, and fashion through an open call for submissions, where outstanding works will be showcased in multiple public spaces and stages throughout Kabukicho.

The festival's theme revolves around how we will dress and live a century from now, aiming to inspire participants to visualize the future creatively. This fashion segment is a call for original pieces that reflect futuristic costumes and lifestyles, distancing from existing characters to foster authentic creativity. Selected works will be displayed at the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower's KABUKICHO TOWER STAGE, and creators will have the opportunity to perform live during the event, alongside their visual showcases.

The Vision Behind LOOP 2126

LOOP 2126 ∞prelude∞ is underpinned by a philosophy asserting that “the future should not only be predicted but imagined, chosen, and created.” The festival seeks to empower participants as active creators of tomorrow’s culture, opening a dialogue about how advancements in AI and machine learning are transforming the production processes in visual arts.

AI is increasingly becoming a creative partner rather than just a tool, enhancing human imagination. Through the lens of AI-co-created works, this event encourages creators to consider how new visual narratives can depict a world a century ahead.

AI Creative Division

The AI creative division will specifically delve into this potential for co-creation, amplifying the thought processes that accompany works of art. It prioritizes not just technical proficiency but also a reflective approach to the partnership between AI and its human creators. This open call is not only a chance to showcase artistic talent but also a platform to explore the narrative possibilities that lie ahead in an AI-driven age.
