Flower and Corpse Glitch

Created in 12 scenes, this illustrated story features the theme of “The clash, cycle, and symbiosis between nature and culture.”

The world of the artwork is created in three-dimensional space on a computer, visualizing ultrasubjective space within 12 perspectives. The surface peels away, revealing the underside of the artworks surface.

Three-dimensional shapes are represented on the computer as abstract, higher-order information described by a grid construction. In other words, when the surfaces of those three-dimensional rendered objects are peeled away, it is apparent that they are created from various combinations of grids. This work allows a glimpse peels away the surface, allowing a glimpse into the creative process.

The mountain village is asked to provide large amounts of timber to further develop the city. The villagers cut down a large tree deep within the mountains.

teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.

teamLab exhibitions have been held in cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne among others. teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, and teamLab SuperNature Macao, with more to open in cities including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Amos Rex, Helsinki.
