DMM.Planets Art by teamLab
DMM.Planets Art by teamLab is the largest digital art exhibition that teamLab has ever showcased. The exhibition space is structured like a maze in which the audience experiences digital artworks by walking around. There is no set path for the audience to enjoy this exhibition. Wander through the Crystal Universe is displayed in the largest scale among this same series. The new work Floating in the Falling Flowers is installed in the enormous dome space. The other new work Drawing on the Water Surface Created by the Dance of Koi and People - Infinity is projected on the infinite stretching surface of water.

Each art space is filled with unique smell such as forest, flowers, and the universe. In Wander through the Crystal Universe, the smell of the universe supervised by the astronaut Naoko Yamazaki, spreads throughout the entire room.

ARTWORKS

Wander through the Crystal Universe

Pointillism uses an accumulation of distinct dots of color to create a picture, here light points are used to create three-dimensional objects. This interactive artwork expresses the universe through accumulated light points.

People can use their smartphones to select elements that make up the universe by dragging them and releasing them into the The Infinite Crystal Universe. Each element of the universe sent into the work influences that of other elements and is influenced by the presence of people in the space.

This artwork is forever evolving, changing moment to moment due to the people in the space.

Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers

A seasonal year of flowers bloom and change with time, life spreads out into the universe.
Lie down or sit still in the space and eventually your body floats and you dissolve into the artwork world.

Flowers grow, bud, bloom, and in time, the petals fall, and the flowers wither and die. The cycle of birth and death continues for perpetuity.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the artwork in real time. As a whole, it is continuously changing, and previous visual states are never replicated. The universe at this moment in time can never be seen again.

Drawing on the Water Surface Created by the Dance of Koi and People - Infinity

Koi swim on the surface of water that stretches out into infinity. People can walk into the water. 
The movement of the koi is influenced by the presence of people in the water and also other koi. When the fish collide with people they turn into flowers and scatter. Throughout a year, the flowers that bloom will change along with the seasons.
The trajectory of the koi is determined by the presence of people and these trajectories trace lines on the surface of the water.
The work is rendered in real time by a computer program. It is neither prerecorded nor on loop. The interaction between the viewer and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork. Previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur.

Soft Black Hole - Your Body Becomes a Space that Influences Another Body

Trying to walk, the foot sinks. The space itself is affected and changed by the weight of people's bodies. And the people's bodies are affected by the changing space. People interact with each other through space. Your body changes the space, and that space changes the body of others.

In modern life we are surrounded by flat hard surfaces, so that in our daily lives we have lost consciousness of our bodies, we have forgotten them. In natural forests flat ground does not exist. This installation is a space to remind us of the body that we have forgotten in everyday life, and to make us more conscious of our body mass.

ARTIST

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