Continuous Life in a Beautiful World

teamLab, 2019, Interactive Digital installation, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

This artwork installation starts from a life-sized mangrove forest. After a while, visitors shrink to a microscopic size and an underwater world expands before them, becoming a world of plankton and microorganisms that is normally invisible to the naked eye.

A continuous, living world is expressed through the abundant and beautiful mangrove forest ecosystem: the mangrove trees, the birds that live in the mangrove forest, the fish in the water, and the plankton and other microorganisms.

The life of the mangrove forest changes interactively due to the presence of people. Each person has a color, and the creatures that pass close by are dyed that color.
