Viewers interact with Chinese characters projected on the facade of the ArtScience Museum. To create new visual worlds viewers select and swipe characters towards the facade of the building using a smartphone application. Through this gesture, images correlating with the meaning of the characters emerge on the facade. The result is a colourful multi-sensory space that continuously evolves as the images that are released from the characters influence each other, creating an immersive computer-generated world.

The images that are born from the characters appear in various positions within the virtual space, and the physical influences and connections among the objects are calculated in real time, producing complex animations inspired by nature. For example, when the wind blows the objects are influenced by the wind; images of butterflies move towards flowers, and away from fire. These complex interactions between the viewers and characters mean that each interaction is unique, just as every event in the natural world is unique.

Chinese Characters were first carved in turtle shell, ox or deer bones, and were engraved in bronze ware. At that time it can be said that each character contained its own world. Through the characters, the world that you have called up, and the worlds that the people around you call up, connect and influence each other to create a new world.

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. teamlab.art Biographical Documents teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary and Ikkan Art.
