Liverpool, UK - February 12th, 2026 - The city of Liverpool is poised to become a beacon of digital artistry this spring with the arrival of 'Walking Good,' a breathtaking new interactive installation by the globally acclaimed Japanese art collective, teamLab. This stunning, free-to-attend experience will transform Otterspool Promenade into a mesmerizing landscape of light and sound, offering a unique fusion of technology, art, and the natural beauty of the Liverpool waterfront.

'Walking Good' is a key highlight within the broader 2026 Japan-UK Season of Culture, a year-long celebration designed to strengthen cultural ties and foster creative exchange between the two nations. The season features a diverse program of events showcasing the best of Japanese and British art, performance, design, and innovation. Choosing Liverpool as the home for 'Walking Good' speaks volumes about the city's burgeoning reputation as a cultural hub, following its successful hosting of numerous large-scale art installations and events, including the highly popular 'Liverpool Biennial' and the 'River of Light' festival.

teamLab, the collective behind 'Walking Good,' is internationally renowned for its immersive digital installations that blur the boundaries between art, science, and technology. Their work consistently explores themes of interconnectedness, nature, and the human experience, often employing sophisticated projection mapping, interactive sensors, and generative algorithms to create captivating environments. Previous installations have captivated audiences worldwide, with exhibits in Tokyo, New York, London, and Dubai consistently drawing massive crowds and critical acclaim.

The Otterspool Promenade location was strategically selected to maximize the impact of 'Walking Good.' The promenade's expansive waterfront views, combined with the natural curve of the shoreline, provide an ideal canvas for teamLab's digital artistry. The installation is designed to be interactive; as visitors walk along a designated path, their movements will trigger a dynamic response of light and sound. Preliminary reports suggest that the system uses pressure-sensitive technology and motion tracking to translate footsteps into pulsating waves of color and harmonious sonic textures, creating a symbiotic relationship between the artwork and the audience.

"We are incredibly excited to bring 'Walking Good' to Liverpool," stated a representative from teamLab in a pre-launch statement. "Our goal is to create art that transcends traditional boundaries and invites participation. We want visitors to feel a sense of wonder and connection - to themselves, to each other, and to the environment around them. Otterspool Promenade offers the perfect setting to achieve this, allowing us to harness the beauty of the natural landscape and amplify it through the power of digital technology."

City officials anticipate a significant influx of visitors eager to experience 'Walking Good.' Planning is underway to manage potential crowds and ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience for all. Visitors are strongly encouraged to arrive early, particularly during peak hours, to avoid disappointment. Public transportation options to Otterspool Promenade are being enhanced, and additional parking facilities are being considered to accommodate the expected demand. The local tourism industry is also bracing for a boost, with hotels, restaurants, and other businesses preparing to capitalize on the increased foot traffic.

The event's free admission is a testament to Liverpool's commitment to accessible culture. Mayor Anderson commented, "We believe that art should be available to everyone, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. 'Walking Good' embodies this principle, offering a world-class artistic experience that is open to all."

Beyond the immediate artistic impact, 'Walking Good' is expected to generate significant positive economic and social benefits for Liverpool. The event will showcase the city's innovative spirit and its ability to attract international talent and investment. It will also provide a platform for local artists and creatives to collaborate with teamLab and share their own perspectives. As Liverpool prepares to welcome this extraordinary installation, excitement is building for what promises to be a truly unforgettable experience - a vibrant testament to the power of art and the enduring friendship between Japan and the UK.
