teamLab: Digitized Hiroshima Castle

The resisting and resonating ovoids placed in the castle ruins, together with the trees of the castle, shine brightly. The light of the ovoids and the light of the trees are autonomous, they shine brightly and then fade slowly, as if breathing.

When the ovoid is pushed, the colour of the light it emits changes and the tone unique to that color echos. The light originated from that ovoid resonates out to other ovoids and trees nearby. The tone resonates out continuously in the same way as the light, spreading throughout the ovoids, trees and all the way out to Resonating Hiroshima Castle.

If a wave of light comes from the other side of the castle, it signifies that there is another person in that location. As a result, people gain a heightened sense of awareness of the presence of other people in the same space.

The resisting and resonating ovoids stand on the water of the cherry blossom pond. The ovoids are autonomous, they shine brightly and then fade as if slowly breathing. 
Light resonates from the artwork, Resisting and Resonating Ovoids and Trees, causing the color of the ovoids in this space to change and a unique tone to resound.

Every aspect of the Spatial Calligraphy written on the castle walls rotates in the same direction, but depending on perception, it can appear to be rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

Spatial Calligraphy is calligraphy drawn in space, a form of calligraphy that teamLab has been exploring since it was founded. The artwork reconstructs calligraphy in three dimensional space to express the depth, speed and power of the brush stroke, and that calligraphy is then flattened using the logical structure teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space. The calligraphy shifts between two and three dimensions.
