The birth and progress of civilization are linked with the development of cities. This study investigates Tokyo, the world’s most populous megalopolis and a major tourist hub, and how people view and experience it. Through a digital art installation, Tokyo is unveiled—only existing through interaction. The authors reduce the city’s cultural-dependent representation through a database using hashtags in 47 languages. It automatically finds trends in its multicultural representation on Instagram using computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP), yielding results in the art installation similar to current semiotic readings of Tokyo.
