teamLab: Sketch Flight and Connecting! Block Town | teamLab

Color in an airplane, butterfly, or hawk on the paper provided and see the picture you have drawn appear three-dimensionally, flying through the world in front of you. If you touch them, they speed up or fly away.
You can control the plane, butterfly, or hawk with the tablet and see the world from their perspectives on the screen.For example, butterflies have a 344-degree horizontal field of vision, and almost a 360-degree vertical field of vision. With the tablet, you can see the world not only in front of you, but on both sides and behind you as well.Hawks can see two things clearly at once. They 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 tablet, and that area will appear bigger 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.

Reality is not what we see. What we see is a world that we are capable of perceiving.

A sphere made of accumulated rays of light.
The light radiates from the center in infinite fine rays, creating its spherical shape. The light source remains motionless, yet the countless lines emitting from it wriggle continuously. In the center, a circular rainbow appears.

The sphere has no surface boundary, and the perception of the boundary between the artwork and the body is ambiguous. When you try to touch a sphere, your hand goes into the sphere as it does not have a physical boundary.

What is this sphere? Why do the rays wriggle?
Our world is within us.

And once we recognize this sphere made of accumulated lines, our perception of the world expands, and we will begin to notice them wherever we go.

All oceans are connected to each other, and so are all the waves in this world.

In classical East Asian art, waves are often expressed using a combination of lines. These waves created by lines allow us to realize that each wave is one part of a larger flow, and conveys life as though the waves are a living entity.

When the waves rise, we can feel a powerful breath of life, as though life is blooming. It feels as though each wave has a life of its own. But when the waves collapse and disappear, we realize, with a sense of fragility, that they were a part of the ocean. And that ocean is connected to all of the other oceans. In other words, all of the waves in the world are connected to each other.
The waves seem alive because life is like a rising wave. It is a miraculous phenomenon that continuously emerges from a single, continuous ocean.

Multiple screens are positioned in the exhibition space and in the same positional relationship as the screens, multiple viewpoints are placed in the artwork world and cut out through Ultrasubjective Space.
These cut out spaces are then placed onto the screens. Ultrasubjective Space allows the space around multiple viewpoints to be cut and rearranged together so that the space of the artwork world is layered in the exhibition space.

Seasonal flowers of the year repeat the cycle of life and death, proliferating and dying out, continually changing with the flow of time.
