Tea and Sake in Spontaneous Order
Tea and Sake in Spontaneous Order
* Location: Inside Orchid Glass House
When a cup of tea or sake is poured, the tea or sake begins to glow with its own unique rhythm and produce a tone.
A spontaneous order phenomenon occurs between the teas, sake or the lamps of Nursery Lamps in Spontaneous Order. As they influence each other, gradually the rhythms of light and color of the teas or sake synchronize. You drink a part of that order.
The artwork is born only when there is tea or sake. When you finish drinking the tea or sake, the work will no longer exist and will no longer affect its surroundings.
The light color of the tea or sake is Dynamic Equilibrium Color, a new color concept by teamLab. When a person sees the tea or sake in the cup from a distance, taking in its entirety, the color of the light does not appear to change; but when they look closely, observing the miniscule, the color of the light is actually continuously changing, and creating a new sense of time.
A spontaneous order phenomenon occurs when different rhythms influence each other and become aligned. Examples include when the pendulums of two clocks gradually begin to swing together, when many fireflies gather in one tree and all start flashing at the same time, creating a larger light phenomenon, or when the cells that make up the heart synchronize and tremble simultaneously to create the beating of the heart. The phenomenon of self-organization is the creation of a large structure with order resulting from the autonomous behavior of each individual, even though each individual does not have the ability to observe the whole. This can also be called a self-organization phenomenon.
It is believed that entropy (a measurement of the lack of order in a system) in the universe will steadily increase (the law of increasing entropy) and that entities with form eventually collapse. However, the reason why the universe, life, nature, and society are able to exist in spite of this may be because order is born by itself through the common phenomenon of self-organization in the midst of disorder. In other words, the universe and our own existence are a continuous order created by the same phenomenon.
