Spatial Dialogues | teamLab

Masses of spacetime exist in disarray, and the spacetimes of each mass connect to each other.
When people stand in front of the flames burning within the mass, a black absolute existence appears.
Flames are a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion; it is a vaporized or decomposed substance in a state of flow. It is our sensory experience of seeing what is in between phenomenon and substance. People perceive fire as a single object through this sensory experience, and may even sometimes feel life in it.
Lines are drawn in relation to the flow of combusting gas in the masses and the flames are created by the accumulation of those lines in three-dimensions. The lines are then “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be Ultrasubjective Space to represent the flames.
teamLab is exploring the concept of Distributed Art.If you launch the Distributed Fire smartphone application and approach this artwork, the flame will ignite and you can take the artwork home with you. When you bring that flame close to another person's smartphone, a flame will alight. As you connect the flame, and they connect that flame with someone else, the flame will spread all over the world. The flames that are spread are displayed on the Map of The Flame.
Distributed Art duplicates itself, or a part of an artwork is distributed among people. Then, once in the hands of the people, the artwork is further actively distributed, and also makes copies of itself. The artworks will be distributed and exist on people's networks and become decentralized. When the artwork exists on the network, it continues to exist even if the original disappears.

The contours of life’s existence are not the surface boundary of the body, but something ambiguous that includes the environment that is continuous with it.As long as people live, they dissipate energy and affect the environment, such as the flow of air.In this artwork, the existence of the birds are depicted through the energy they dissipate into the world.
Being consists of the mind, the body, and the environment that is continuous with them.
Objects like stones and man-made creations so far have maintained a stable structure on their own. But life is different. Whereas a stone can continue to exist in a closed box, sealed off from the outside world, life would cease to exist.
Life is like a vortex created in the ocean. A vortex forms and exists in a flow of matter, and the boundaries of its existence are ambiguous.  
Although a vortex is steady, it is constantly moving and swelling like a powerful life-form. The vortex cannot maintain a stable structure on its own; rather, it is created and sustained by water that continuously flows inwards and outwards.
The same is true of life. It consumes external matter and energy as food and discharges it, sustaining its ordered structure as the energy dissipates. In other words, life does not exist by itself. It is the environment that is continuous with it that maintains the structure of life. 
Life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges from a flow in an open world. Like an ocean vortex, it is an existence with ambiguous boundaries in an infinite continuity.
To be alive is to be inseparable from the world, constantly dissipating energy into it.

人类自身和环境是“不二”的，也就是说看上去是不同的，但实际是同一的，不分彼此且无法分离的。这里的“无法分离，指的或许并非是统合，而是对于虽然看上去是两个不同的东西，但实际上是同一物体的再认知。自然赋予我们恩泽，也带给我们灾难。同样，我们受惠于文明的进步，也承受着这种进步带来的负面影响。自然与文明总是相伴相生。时间没有绝对的恶与善。我们很难理解也无法安放自己的情感和心绪。无论未来等待我们的是什么，我们只能选择去面对而不绝望地继续生活。
用“空书”在立体地书写着象征着生命和生存的“生”字。“空书”是teamLab从创立以来一直延续的，在空间里书写的书法。书法特有的墨迹，深浅度、速度和力度，在全新诠释的空间里被立体的再构建，通过teamLab的“超主观空间”的理论结构被二次元化。书法在平面和立体之间不断巡回。
用镜头和透视呈现出的作品空间出现在显示面的另一侧。 换句话说，显示面成为了一个边界，将观赏者存在的空间与作品的空间分割开来。 然而，"超主体空间 "的特点之一便是在通过 "超主体空间 "所呈现的作品空间中，显示面并不会成为空间的边界。 这种作品空间能够超越显示面，仿佛以三维形态存在于观赏者所处的空间中。作品的空间与观赏者身体所处的空间因此得以连接并延续。
