teamLab: Field of Wind, Rain and Sun
We received a request from Can Can Factory to place art in the newly expanded Factory. So we decided to demolish part of the site and turn it into a grassland. A grassland that resembles a vacant lot in an industrial area.

The wind returned, the rain spread, and the sun increased.

When the wind blew strongly, the wind caused artworks to appear,

when the rain fell in the darkness, the rain became artworks,

when the sun rose high, the sun gave birth to artworks.

teamLab advocates Environmental Phenomena; artworks do not exist independently, but are created by the environment which produces the various phenomena that cause the artworks to exist.

Up until now, things that humans have created have existed through matter, just like a rock, and have a stable structure in and of themselves. Unlike such things, the existence of an artwork is created by the environment.

Existence will be freed from matter that has previously been responsible for its existence. Elements like air, water, and light that permeate our daily lives are transformed by their environment into unique phenomena that will become the existence of art. The boundaries of that existence are ambiguous and continuous. Even if people break the artwork apart, the work will remain in existence as long as its environment is maintained. Conversely, if the environment is not maintained, the work will disappear. People's consciousness will spread from existence itself to the environment.

A rock will continue to exist even if it is placed in a sealed box isolated from the outside world, but life cannot maintain its existence if it is placed in such a closed box. Life is also an existence that is maintained by the environment.

Life may be a miraculous phenomenon that emerges from a flow in an open and continuous world.

Spatial Calligraphy of Light and Wind

* On sunny days with wind
When the wind blows, this artwork appears in the sky. It shines when the sun comes out and glows when the sun sets.
Materials made by humans, such as concrete, have maintained a stable structure on their own like a stone. Vortices on the other hand are created and sustained by the water that continuously flows inwards and outwards, maintaining an ordered structure within that flow. Life similarly maintains order through the continuous inward and outward flow of energy and matter through food.This artwork also has no structure by itself, but rather the structure emerges from the flow; it is soft and flexible like a life form. The flow is what creates order from chaos.

Ephemeral Crystallized Rain

* Dusk to dawn on heavy rainy days
On a night of heavy rain, the falling rain over the grassland becomes an artwork.
Countless masses of light float in the air, each one composed of two colors. The boundaries of each color are clearly separated as though they are solid.The seemingly solid color separation of the masses of light is not seen in the natural world, and is caused by extreme synchronization. Through self-organization over time, this synchronization phenomenon creates a large ordered structure.
When you touch a solidified light, you realize that the visible part is part of something that continues to flow without interruption.Life is a phenomenon like crystals of ephemeral light, miraculously solidified into a continuum of energy that continues to flow without interruption from a past whose beginning is unknown.

Enso of the Sun

* Around true noon on sunny days with no wind (11:30 - 12:30) 
On a day without wind or clouds, when the sun has risen to its highest point, anyone who climbs the Staircase for the Sun can see a full circle rainbow of light that shines brightly in the air. The light circle is a perfect circle without distortion. 

Field of Wind, Rain and Sun

* Dawn to dusk
We received a request from Can Can Factory to place art in the newly expanded Factory. So we decided to demolish part of the site and turn it into a grassland. A grassland that resembles a vacant lot in an industrial area.The wind returned, the rain spread, and the sun increased.
Within the grassland, the musical experience changes depending on the place and the speed at which you walk.

Life is an Ephemeral Light Born in the Sea of Darkness

* Dusk to dawn
Ephemeral light is born in the darkness and returns to the darkness.

Sea of the Sun

* Day & Night
The artwork is created using glass rocks collected from the crushed glass that remains in the melting furnaces of a glass factory.
On a sunny day in the afternoon*, the rock garden becomes a Sea of the Sun.At night, the light inside the rocks solidifies and melts into each other. The garden changes depending on people's actions.

Tea in Spontaneous Order - Dynamic Equilibrium Color

* Dusk to dawn
When a cup of tea is poured, the tea begins to glow with its own unique rhythm and produce a tone.A spontaneous order phenomenon occurs between the teas close by as they influence each other, gradually syncing the rhythms of light and color of the teas. You drink part of that order.The artwork is born only when there is tea. When you finish drinking the tea, the work will no longer exist and will no longer affect its surroundings.
When you lift the tea to drink it, the tea will shine brightly and the light will resonate to Life is an Ephemeral Light Born in the Sea of Darkness.
The light color of the tea is Dynamic Equilibrium Color, a new color concept by teamLab. When a person sees the tea 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.

Sea of Light on the Pedestal

Waves of light.The artwork exists as a result of a phenomenon. The phenomenon is born from the environment, and the environment maintains its existence.

teamLab

아트 컬렉티브 teamLab은 2001년 활동을 시작했다. 국경을 넘어선 연대 속에 집단 창작의 방식으로 예술, 과학, 테크놀로지 그리고 자연계의 교차점을 학제적 접근으로 모색한다. 아티스트, 프로그래머, 엔지니어, CG 애니메이터, 수학자, 건축가 등 다양한 분야의 전문가들로 구성된 teamLab은 예술을 통해 인간과 자연, 개인과 세계의 새로운 관계를 탐구하고 표현한다.
 
teamLab은 우리에게 익숙한 모든 경계에 대해 질문한다. 인간은 각자를 둘러싼 바깥 세상을 감각 기관으로 인지해 스스로와 분리하고 낱낱을 경계지어 독립체로 구분하려 한다. 현대 문명은 그런 방식으로 세계를 이해해 왔다. teamLab은 예술을 통해 감각을 확장하고 개인과 세계의 경계, 시간의 연속성에 대한 인지의 경계를 넘어설 수 있다고 믿는다. 이 세계의 모든 것은 광대한 시간 속에, 생명의 끝없는 연속 안에 가까스로, 하지만 기적적으로 존재하고 있다.

teamLab의 작품은 시드니 뉴사우스웨일스 주립 미술관, 애들레이드 사우스오스트레일리아 미술관, 샌프란시스코 아시아 미술관, 뉴욕 아시아 소사이어티, 이스탄불 보루산 현대 미술관, 멜버른 빅토리아 국립 미술관, 헬싱키 아모렉스가 영구 소장하고 있다.

Osaka Seikan's Vision
My grandfather built a can factory here 60 years ago.

Since then, many small and medium-sized factories have been built here due to it being geographically located inland and adjacent to Osaka City, and to the economic growth of Japan. This is a town of manufacturing, and so I also have come to be making cans for sweets.

When we were exploring the idea of a new factory, we wondered if we could do something new and open to society, rather than just making cans.

At that time, fortunately, teamLab agreed to create an artworks for our new factory.

1,300 years ago during the Nara period, this area was a beautiful inlet called Kusakae, a colorful land that is also written about in the Man'yoshu collection of ten thousand poems.

teamLab has brought the ancient scenery back to life.

On windy days, a Spatial Calligraphy dances in the sky,

on rainy days, crystals of light appear,

and on sunny days, a full-circle of light shining with rainbow colors appears in the grassland.

The grassland sways in the wind, and many butterflies and dragonflies visit.

I am an ordinary manager of a small to medium-sized factory.

But even someone like me can make an impact on the local community through the power of art.

I would be extremely happy if this beautiful experience can inspire you to change something in your lives.
