Thank you for waiting "Sapporo Icicle Festival 2020" that came this winter!
Icicle is the old name of "Tsurara" and it can also be called a column of ice, which . It was indispensable for the winter scenery in Hokkaido, but recently it has become rarer. It can be said that icicle is a mirror of the environment and art of nature that created in the ever-changing temperature and humidity.
SIAF Lab has been focusing on icicles since 2016 , and has been thinking about the culture and environment of Sapporo and Hokkaido through icicles. The "Sapporo Icicle Festival" has continued to rediscover the winter in Sapporo by considering the icicles declining in our daily lives from the perspectives of art, science, and culture. Furthermore, this year, as a culmination of our efforts so far, we introduced works that has been changed day by day for the winter environment in Sapporo in a more attractive way.

Sapporo Icicle Festival 2020 (Shiryokan 1F SIAF Lounge,)
Spectral Icicle of Milieu
Icicles are objects made from water by the environment, but if we replace water with other materials, what will happen?. This work expresses icicles as a wall of light based on the environmental information (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure) acquired in real time.
Artificial Icicle Making Machine
The production of this device started from the short sentence, "I want to sing icicles!" said by a SIAF Labl member. This device, which can control the amount and angle of water by computer to create artificial icicles that can’t be found in nature, has undergone numerous experiments and trial and error. It showed us icicles with different shapes this year.
Rotating Icicle Forming Machine
Radial icicles created from sticking water droplets sprayed onto a rotating shaft. An impressive and mysterious rotating giant icicle installation. The size and formation of icicles change according to the weather conditions of the day.
The Icicle Hut
What a building made from icicles would look like?. This hut, which is called a icicle hut, has a special structure controlling the transmission of heat to make the formation of icicles easier. How big and what shape will the icicles be this year?
