The flowers repeat the cycle of life and death in perpetuity, and the places where they grow change. When people touch the flowers, the petals scatter, and when they stand still, more flowers begin to grow.The flowers change in the flow of time.

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.

When a person moves, a flow is born, and that flow creates an influence that extends far and wide. The movement of other people will likewise create a flow, coming together and creating a vortex. When people stop, or if people leave the space, the flow will eventually disappear and nothing will exist in the space.
The flow in the artwork is expressed as a continuum of particles, and lines are drawn in  three-dimensional space according to the trajectories of those particles. The accumulation of lines that represent the work are then flattened according to what teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space.

Color in an airplane, dolphin, hawk, or butterfly on the paper provided and see the picture you have drawn appear three-dimensionally, flying through the artwork world. If you touch them, they speed up or fly away.You can control the plane, dolphin, hawk, or butterfly with your smartphone and see the world from their perspectives on the screen.
Each living creature understands the world only through their own perception, so the world looks different depending on the creature. Such worlds constructed upon each creature’s unique perceptual experiences are called umwelt. Here, you control the airplane through a lens like a pilot. However, if a living creature is chosen, you can control them and see the world in a completely different way.
Dolphins emit sounds and perceive the world through the echoes. Just as the sound of striking metal differs from that of plastic, they can even recognize differences in materials. While fresh flowers and artificial flowers may appear the same to humans, dolphins perceive them as entirely different. Since dolphins' eyes do not recognize the color of light, the world they experience may be a world of colors completely different from that of humans.
Hawks can see two things clearly at once. When a person focuses on one thing, it is difficult to see the surrounding elements. However, hawks can observe small creatures on the ground while looking ahead of them as they fly. Tap an area you want to zoom in on the smartphone, and that area will appear bigger on the screen.
Butterflies have a 344-degree horizontal field of vision, and almost a 360-degree vertical field of vision. With the smartphone, you can see the world not only in front of you, but on both sides and behind you as well.

This is a musical wall where little people live.
When stamps of various shapes such as mushrooms, sheep barns, or long sticks of ice are attached to the wall, these objects appear in the world of the little people. Depending on the stamp, the little people will slide, jump, or climb on top of them. If the stamp is removed, the stamp in the world of the little people will remain for a moment longer before disappearing.Attach various stamps to the wall, and see the little people’s world transform into a completely new world.
Seeds with smiley faces come falling down from above. When the seeds hit the stamps, various notes in different pitches play depending on the type and position of the stamp they hit, eventually creating music.

This is a table where little people live.
If you put something, such as your hand, on top of the table, the little people will jump on to it. Depending on the shape of the objects you place on the table, the little people will slide, jump, or climb. Place many objects on the table and see the little people’s world transform into a completely new world.

Aerial Climbing is a space where horizontal bars of varying colors are suspended by ropes and float three-dimensionally in the air. People use these bars to navigate the space in mid-air through three dimensions, trying not to fall. As the bars are linked, the movement caused on a bar by a person will affect the bars on which other people are standing. The arrangement of the bars vary depending on the selected route, so people’s experiences will differ depending on the various ways the bars are linked.When people climb onto the bars, they shine brightly and produce a sound specific to its color. The more people climb onto bars of different colors, the more sounds will be played at the same time.
Flocks of birds fly around freely in this space. When they fly near the people in the space, they take on the color of the bars on which the people stand.
The movement of thousands of birds is beautiful and mysterious, appearing like a single giant life form. The flock has neither a leader nor mutual consensus, but it is said that the birds move on the simple basis of; if my neighbor moves, then I move too. However, the biological mechanism that causes hundreds of birds to move at the same time remains a mystery. It seems there is a universal principle that humans have yet to understand. Likewise, the arrangement of color of the flock is not predetermined. Influenced by people, the birds move, based on a primitive rule unknown to humankind, which in turn creates a complex and beautiful coloration in the space.

Many water droplets flow down a slope.A single droplet bounces like a ball, but when many are gathered together, they behave like water. When they break apart, they behave like a ball again.When people climb the steps up the hill, the droplets near the step receive energy and break apart.
A water molecule on its own is not liquid. In order for water to be a liquid, many water molecules must come together.Because water molecules act like magnets, they stick to each other, forming a group of water molecules (a water cluster). Water clusters have an extremely short lifespan and are thought to be constantly being created and broken apart. They have a very dynamic structure and because of that, water can change into various forms.
Most living things and objects in this world, through properties that are more than the simple sum of the properties of their parts, appear as a whole.
