teamLab, Life is the Sea Flickering in the Dark © teamLab Art collective teamLab’s nighttime open-air museum teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka at Nagai Botanical Garden will unveil a new artwork, Life is the Sea Flickering in the Dark, on September 3rd, as the white madagascar periwinkles reach their peak bloom. This artwork will be on view until September 27th. When people or wild animals approach and stand still, the white madagascar periwinkles shine brightly and emit a sound tone. The surrounding flowers also respond one after another, continuing to resonate the light and tone. The artwork space is transformed by the physical behavior of people and the movement of wild animals, and the people and wild animals become part of the artwork. * The exhibition period is subject to change depending on the blooming conditions. Please check the official website for the latest updates before your visit. Life is the Sea Flickering in the Dark teamLab, Life is the Sea Flickering in the Dark © teamLab On early autumn nights, Madagascar periwinkle flowers emerge as sculptural phenomena where the existence of life and perception intersect. When people or wild animals approach and stand still, the Madagascar periwinkles shine brightly and emit a sound tone. The surrounding periwinkle flowers also respond one after another, continuing to resonate the light and tone. If a wave of light approaches from the other side, it signifies the presence of a person or a wild animal beyond. The artwork space is transformed by the physical behavior of people and the movement of wild animals, and the people and wild animals become part of the artwork. Each individual periwinkle flower does not exist in isolation, but exists within a web of relationships. As people step into the resonating Madagascar periwinkles, they sense the presence of other people and wild animals through a continuous flow of light and sound. This group of phenomenal sculptures becomes an ecological field that changes together with people and wild animals. teamLab, Life is the Sea Flickering in the Dark © teamLab teamLab, Life is the Sea Flickering in the Dark © teamLab teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka is an outdoor night museum featuring a collection of artworks that use the plants, lake, and the ecosystems and environment of Nagai Botanical Garden.

teamLab Unveils New Series from Light Sculpture - Flow at teamLab Borderless. Special Exhibit, "On the Asymmetry of the Universe," on View Through October 8

Asymmetric Existence is a single sculpture formed by the integration of two light sculptures: one that appears only in the physical space and is not reflected in the mirror, and another that appears only inside the mirror and does not exist in real space. Inherently, mirrors reflect physical space symmetrically. However, here, real space and the mirror image space are not in a symmetrical relationship. (Excerpt from the text)

teamLab Transforms Osaka's Sunflowers Into an Interactive Ecosystem Titled ‘Life is the Small Sun Flickering in the Dark.’

Rooted in teamLab’s conceptual exploration of how existence is continuous with its surrounding environment, Life is the Small Sun Flickering in the Dark frames each sunflower not as an isolated entity, but as part of an interconnected web of relationships. Rather than treating art as a static object with rigid physical boundaries, the collective uses flow, light, and sound to establish an evolving ecological field where audience participation actively shapes the structure of the piece.(Excerpt from the text)

From Kyoto’s Historic Handmade Tea Caddy Maker, Kaikado: Copper Tea Caddy Engraved with teamLab Logo Launches August 8 at teamLab Biovortex Kyoto

teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will introduce the ‘Tea Caddy - Copper 120g’ to its shop starting Saturday, August 8, 2026. Made by Kaikado, a historic maker of handmade tea caddies in Kyoto, and engraved with the teamLab logo, the item will be available at the Sketch Factory inside the museum. teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will continue to deepen its engagement with Kyoto’s historic craftsmanship and explore new initiatives. Tea Caddy - Copper 120g Each Kaikado tea caddy is individually handcrafted, one by one, using the same process and the same method that have remained unchanged for over a century. Boasting a superb airtight feature, it protects and preserves a variety of products; coffee beans, tea leaves, dried herbs, spices and pasta from moisture and humidity. Thanks to this high airtightness, when you release your hand while closing the lid, the lid descends slowly to the exact level in a silky and silent motion—a movement unique to a tea caddy. Gently caressing the entire body of the caddy with the palm of your hand day after day, brings out a change within a few days to a few weeks of first use; as time passes, the color tone shifts and brings out an elegant rich sheen. This Tea Caddy - Copper is a chabitsu (a covered container used to store a set of tea utensils) designed for a Torikomi-bon (tray). Tea caddies for Torikomi-bon are slightly smaller in size, crafted to fit neatly inside this chabitsu.
