ARTWORKS

Interactive Magnetic Field Theater by teamLab

An interactive digital installation artwork that allows viewers to walk around freely through a space surrounded by images on the floor and in every direction, helping them experience a visual display of the forces of magnetism, which are normally invisible to the naked eye.

The artwork is divided into three worlds: Space, Earth, and Electrons. When viewers touch the projected floating objects (earth, planets, aurora, and free electrons), they are taken to that world.

・Space
Touch the sun or planets to see magnetic forces depicted through light, as they stream out from the sun and planets, connecting and disconnecting from each other. Touch those connecting paths and you will see them change.

・Earth
Touch the aurora to see it shimmer and change into a variety of colors.

・Electrons
Electronics Mode
Touch the free electrons and see electricity pass through the grid pattern created by the chemical bonds between the electrons. Touch the free electrons more than once and see electricity pass all at once through the grid pattern created by the chemical bonds, making the grid shine brightly.

Spintronics Mode
Touch the free electrons to change the rotation direction and orientation and see the electricity travel further away. Depending on the direction, electricity may travel fast or slowly. This artwork depicts the nature and direction of electrons.

The artwork is rendered in real time by a computer program; it does not use pre-recorded animations. It changes based on the viewer's' position and behavior, so that previous visual states as a whole can never be replicated.

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.
