ES DEVLIN, TEAMLAB, AND JAMES TURRELL
TO INAUGURATE SUPERBLUE'S PREMIERE EXPERIENTIAL ART CENTER IN MIAMI

Every Wall is a Door

Es Devlin, teamLab, and James Turrell will bring dynamic, large-scale installations to the Superblue experiential art center Superblue Miami in Florida, with the opening exhibition Every Wall is a Door


Superblue is a groundbreaking new enterprise dedicated to producing, presenting, and engaging audiences with experiential art. Its inaugural program features the debut of a new immersive environment by Es Devlin, a transcendent  world created by teamLab, and an enveloping light-based work from James Turrell’s iconic Ganzfeld series, all on long-term view.


teamLab: Between Life and Non-Life
Bringing together new and recent projects by teamLab in one, all-encompassing experience, this suite of interconnected artworks takes audiences on an exploration of the ambiguity between living and nonliving states of being, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. The installation is the culmination of the collaborative practice of teamLab, an interdisciplinary collective of artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects that aims to transcend boundaries of perception, demonstrate the continuity of time, and explore the relationship between the self and the world. Many works shift according to audience interactions within them and with surrounding works, resulting in one-time-only visual effects that can never be replicated. This approach casts visitors and their relationships to one another as integral to the ultimate form of the work – underscoring their collective presence as a positive means of creation and serving as a metaphor for the integrated systems of nature itself, where distinctive parts interact to become a unified whole.

teamLab: Between Life and Non-Life

无相之云,雕塑与生命之间 / Massless Clouds Between Sculpture and Life

The only material substances present in this space are ordinary soap, water, and air. The bubbles are soap bubbles.
This floating, immense sculpture emerges from a sea of bubbles, transcending the very concept of mass. It neither sinks to the ground nor rises completely to the ceiling, but instead drifts in the middle of the space. The contours of its existence are ambiguous—it fragments into smaller pieces, but merges into a larger mass. Even when people fully immerse themselves in this sculpture, its existence remains intact. If broken by people, it naturally restores itself. However, when the sculpture is destroyed beyond what it can repair, it collapses, unable to recover. Even if people try to move or push this floating sculpture, they cannot do so,, and if they stir up wind, the sculpture disperses entirely. Physical human actions cannot move the sculpture.
Objects such as stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure on their own. A stone will continue to exist even if placed in a sealed box, isolated from the external world.On the other hand, a vortex created in the ocean disappears instantly when transferred into an enclosed box. In other words, a vortex does not maintain a stable structure independently. A vortex exists within the flow created by its environment formed by water continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside, maintained by the vortex’s ordered structure. This flow allows the vortex to shift as the surrounding currents change. Moreover, its boundaries are ambiguous, and there is no material distinction between the vortex and its surroundings.
Rather than a solid object, this sculpture is created by the order of energy generated by the phenomena of a unique environment.  Let us call this existence created by the order of energy, a "Higher Order Sculpture." The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. It transcends the conventional notions of physical objects—it sustains its existence mid-air, having ambiguous boundaries, and it is able to maintain its shape even when people immerse themselves physically into the sculpture, naturally restoring itself even if the sculpture breaks.
By filling the space with soap bubbles, a distinct environment is created in which an order of energy is born. By doing so, a massive form emerges from this sea of bubbles that floats steadily in mid-air.
In modern biology, the definition of life cannot be strictly defined, but everything that is structured upon cells, capable of metabolism, and self-reproduction are labeled living things for convenience. In other words, all living things are composed of cells. All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane constructed of a lipid bilayer, with the hydrophilic part facing outward and the hydrophobic part covered within the layers. Both the inside and outside of the enveloping membrane are liquid. Soap bubbles are similarly enveloped by lipid bilayer membranes, and these membranes are structurally identical to cell membranes. However, contrary to cells, the bilayer of the bubble membrane floats in and encloses air, so the hydrophobic part faces outward, while the hydrophilic part is covered within the layers. In other words, if we consider cells to be pouch-shaped membranes in liquid, then bubbles are pouch-shaped membranes in air. This sculpture is created from substances composed in the same ways as cells, the structuring units of life-forms, and the order of energy created from this environment.
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. Life exists within the flow of matter and energy, and its contour, like a vortex, is ambiguous.Perhaps, life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges in the flow of matter and energy, and its structure is the order of energy created by that flow.

花与人, 不为所控却能共生 - 消除作品的边界, 度时如年 / Flowers and People, Cannot be Controlled but Live Together - Transcending Boundaries, A Whole Year per Hour

本作品超越了作品间的界线,与其他的作品相互影响。在1个小时内,将一年四季花朵的花开花落持续地呈现。
花朵会从诞生、生长、开花,到不久後的凋谢、枯萎、死亡。也就是说,花朵永远地重复着诞生和死亡。花朵会因为观赏者的凝视生长的比平常多、如果触摸花朵、踩踏花朵就会一齐凋谢。
作品不是将预先制作好的影像进行放映,而是通过电脑程序实时绘制而成的。整体来说,作品的图像并非复制以前的状态,而是受到人们行为举止的影响,持续发生变化。眼前这一瞬间的画面,错过就无法再看到了。
并且,花朵会因为受到“水粒子世界”中水流的影响而凋謝,飘落。
春天,到访的群山樱花烂漫,山脚油菜花片片。面对绚烂的山花,使我不禁遐想,这些花有多少是人工种植的,又有多少是大自然的馈赠。这里绽放的花朵无边无际,是让人心旷神怡的场所。而接着让我感受到的是,这里的自然环境多多少少是受到了人为影响而形成的生态环境。有多少是自然原本的相貌,又有多少是人为影响造成的,界线非常模糊。也就是说,自然与人类没有对立的概念,让人心旷神怡的大自然结合了人类的影响,是和谐共处的生态环境。而有别于近代,人类对于自然无法掌握和控制的前提下,有了遵循自然法则的人们的长期经营,才创造了这个让人心旷神怡的自然环境。生活在这个山谷里的人们,依稀地让我感觉到自古以来的自然与人的关系性依然留存,我想近一步探索在无法控制自然的前提下,对于自然产生影响的人为因素到底是何物。

Life Survives by the Power of Life II

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。
关于 teamLab
teamLab是自2001年起开始活动的艺术团队。通过团队创作来探索艺术、科学、技术和自然界交汇点的国际性跨域艺术团队。由艺术家、程序员、工程师、CG动画师、数学家和建筑师等各个领域的专家组成。 teamLab想通过艺术,摸索人与世界的关系和新的认知。人类为了更好地认知世界,习惯性地把世界分割,并将其视为具有边界的事物。我们探索认知的边界,并试图超越人类对世界、对时间连续性的边界的认知。世间万物都是奇迹般地存在于积年累月且没有边界的连续性上的。 teamLab在纽约、伦敦、巴黎、新加坡、硅谷、北京、墨尔本等世界各地举办了艺术展。teamLab所开设的大型常设美术馆有位于东京台场的“teamLab Borderless”、位于东京丰洲的“teamLab Planets”、位于上海黄浦滨江的“teamLab 无界上海”、位于澳门的“澳门 teamLab 超自然空间”,位于北京的“teamLab无相艺术空间”等等。今后还将有更多的美术馆落地在汉堡、乌得勒支、吉达等地。 teamLab的作品被世界各大艺术机构收藏,如墨尔本维多利亚国家美术馆(墨尔本)、悉尼新南威尔士州美术馆(悉尼)、阿德莱德南澳大利亚艺术画廊(阿德莱德)、赫尔辛基阿莫斯·雷克斯美术馆(赫尔辛基)、旧金山亚洲艺术博物馆(旧金山)、洛杉矶现代美术馆(洛杉矶)、伊斯坦布尔Borusan当代艺术收藏馆(伊斯坦布尔)、纽约亚洲协会博物馆(纽约)。 teamlab.art Biographical Documents teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary and Ikkan Art.
