仮想の三次元空間に人工衛星「だいち2号」(ALOS-2)を立体的に再現し、質量を持った人工衛星の重力によって引き込まれていく水をシミュレーションし、滝を描いている。その滝を「だいち2号」実物大模型にプロジェクションマッピングしている。
水は、無数の水の粒子の連続体で表現し、粒子間の相互作用を計算している。人工衛星にぶつかり跳ねあがった水の粒子は、人工衛星の周りを衛星し、蒸発し消えて行く。そして、水の粒子の挙動によって、空間上に線を描く。その線の集合で滝を描いている。仮想の三次元空間に立体的に描かれた滝を、我々が考える「超主観空間」によって映像作品にしている。

Japanese studio teamLab is examining the beauty of outer space right here on Earth—more specifically in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. The exhibit, entitled Universe of Water Particles Under Satellite’s Gravity, consists of two parts: a giant model of the ALOS-2 satellite and a stunning projection-mapped waterfall rendered in ridiculous detail.
teamLab constructed the physical ALOS-2 model to rest in the museum, but they also created a meticulous representation of the satellite in digital space, even down to the gravitational mass the satellite possesses. Once they had that rendered, the team stuck the satellite in a simulation of absolute zero gravity and added about one waterfall’s worth of H20 into their simulation. Their finely tuned physics engine calculates the rest, beautifully simulating how the water would cascade toward the satellite, since it’s the only source of gravity around. Back in the Museum of Contemporary art, the image of the waterfall is projected over the physical satellite, creating the wonderful illusion of weightlessness.
The creators compare the effect to traditional Japanese painting, writing that, “In traditional Japanese painting, oceans, rivers and bodies of water are expressed as a curvilinear series of lines. These lines give the impression of life, as though water itself were a living creature.” All the same, if Katsushika Hokusai saw this thing, he’d probably wet himself on the spot.
Universe of Water is the most recent in a teamLab series exploring aquatic aesthetic. You can see the others, including Vortex of Water Particles and The Waterfall of Saga Castle on the teamLab website.
