teamLab: Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces
Coming out of the deep mountain forest there was a valley.
There were remains of rain-fed rice terraces, now a marshland covered in reeds.
They looked like secret rice terraces.
Thinking about the long existence of nature and human activity continuing together, we decided to create artworks of the remains of the rice field terraces hidden in the forest.
Then, walking around the forest covering the ruins of the rice terraces and surveying the vegetation, we thought to make the entire forest covering the ruins of the rice terraces into an artwork space that is at one with the surrounding plants.
teamLab's project, Digitized Nature, explores how nature can become art. The concept of the project is that non-material digital technology can turn nature into art without harming it.
The artworks explore how the existence of these forms can be used as they are to create a place where we can transcend the boundary in our understanding of the continuity of time and feel the long, long continuity of life. Using these existences that embody long periods of time as they are, we can experiment with transcending the boundary in our understanding of the long continuity of time and even today continue to accumulate meaning in this place.
