Sapporo Clock Tower Illuminating Collection Box

Summary

The collection box was modelled in collaboration with Hokusho University’s Department of Art. It is a 1/50 scale model of the actual building as of 1889. When coins or notes are inserted into the slots of the pedestal, the model is illuminated. The light pattern programmed by students is controlled with Arduino, a device small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

Date of installation: August 1, 2020
Place: Sapporo Clock Tower 2F Exhibition room (Kita 1-jo Nishi 2-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo)
