DIG SHIBUYA 2026 Official Program Unveiled

NEORT Inc., an innovative platform specializing in digital art, has officially announced the artists participating in its program, SCREENS CONTEXTUALIZED, as part of the upcoming event DIG SHIBUYA 2026.

Special Projection Feature

A highlight of the event will be the large-scale projection titled Projecting Shibuya After Dark on the wall of Shibuya PARCO. Scheduled for February 14 from 5 PM to 9 PM, this unique experience will be created by artist Toshiki Okamoto, who will present a dazzling visual spectacle entitled Fireworks of Words.
