The "Sokusa Festival 'Psychological Experiment 38 Types of Insensitive Humans' (Media Art Pia 2026)" will be held at Nadia Park, located in Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya. The event takes place on the 7th floor of the Aichi Arts Center, within Nadia Park, and promises a unique experience exploring the wonders of sensory illusions.

Experience the Wonders of Optical Illusions

This exhibition, returning after a two-year hiatus, offers visitors a chance to directly engage with and understand optical illusions. The Nagoya City University's Kodaka Laboratory has developed a variety of original illusions for attendees to interact with. Visitors can anticipate experiencing the "Slime Hand Illusion," which creates the sensation of stretching skin, and the "Buddha's Ear Illusion." Additionally, the "XRAY" experience offers a disorienting sensation of a hand entering one's head, and new illusion experiences utilizing HMDs (Head-Mounted Displays) are also planned, promising to stimulate the senses in novel ways.

It's an ideal outing for families, friends, or even for individuals seeking a unique cultural experience.
