Digitized Forest at the World Heritage Site of Shimogamo Shrine, Kyoto Art by teamLab - TOKIO INKARAMI

The World Heritage Site of the Tadasu Forest at Shimogamo Shrine.

teamLab’s Digitized Nature art project uses non-material digital technology to transform nature into art without having a physical impact on it.

Tadasu Forest has been turned into an art space with the installations Resonating Forest and Autonomous Resonating Life - Tadasu Forest at Shimogamo Shrine, Floating, Resonating Spheres - Shimogamo Shrine, and others.

Story behind TOKIO INKARAMI's contribution

With the concept of "delivering Japanese beauty and culture to the world," we fuse opposing elements like technology and nature, progress and tradition, or strength and beauty, and cherish the balance between them while we work to create a global beauty culture.

We are now supporting the activities of teamLab, a driving force in the international art scene. We resonate with their conviction that "digital concepts spread beauty."

At IFing Co., Ltd., Dr. Jr. Division, TOKIO INKARAMI, we will always strive to use art to preserve culture and tradition throughout the generations while introducing Japanese aesthetic sensibilities to the world.

Walk, Walk, Walk - Tadasu Forest at Shimogamo Shrine

A group of anonymous and diverse figures walk along the Izumigawa River as it flows through the Forest of Tadasu.
People can stay with these figures or leave them, and watch as they continue.
The Zen expression “Hoho kore dojo” says every step is the place to learn. The figures of the artwork walk endlessly while confronting new situations. Walking after the figures or confronting new figures one after another, people also make choices along their own path.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Floating, Resonating Spheres - Shimogamo Shrine

Spheres of light float in the space within the Sakura Gate of Shimogamo Shrine. They move on their own, shining brightly, then disappearing—as if they are softly breathing. When the spheres of light are touched by a person or receive an impact, the color of their light changes, and they emit a musical tone unique to their new color. They can also resonate with the spheres around them, changing to the same color and emitting the same tone, creating a chain reaction.

The color of the trees near the spheres can also resonate in the same manner. The light from the trees resonates with that of the trees along the walkway beyond Sakura Gate; they, too, will change color and emit tones. The light from the trees along the walkway transmits the light of the Sakura Gate's trees beyond the gate, resonating with the nearby spheres. The spheres and the trees along the walkway can also resonate with each other beyond the gate.

As visitors move beyond the gate, they will become more aware of the other people and animals with which they share the space.

Resonating Forest and Autonomous Resonating Life - Tadasu Forest at Shimogamo Shrine

The ovoids of light, placed in the Tadasu Forest of the Shimogamo Shrine World Heritage site, shine brightly together with the trees of the forest. The light of the ovoids and the light of the trees are autonomous: they shine brightly and then fade slowly, as if breathing.
When an ovoid is pushed, the color of its light changes, and it emits a sound tone specific to that color. The light resonates out radially to the ovoids and trees nearby. The sound tone resonates out continuously in the same way as the light, spreading throughout the ovoids and trees. The resonating color and tone also spreads to the spheres of light that are in the garden of Shimogamo Shrine. The light of these spheres resonates continuously out past the shrine’s gate to the trees beyond.
When a light resonates from the far end of the path, it signifies the presence of people or forest animals. Perhaps people will become more aware of the existence of other living things in the same space.

Autonomous Resonating Life on the Water - Mitarashi Pond at Shimogamo Shrine

The objects of light standing on the surface of Mitarashi Pond are autonomous: they shine brightly and then fade as if slowly breathing.
When an object is pushed by people or is blown by the wind and tilts, the color of its light changes, and it emits a sound town specific to that color. The light resonates out radially to the objects nearby. The sound tone resonates out continuously in the same way as the light, spreading throughout the objects.

Forest of Autonomous Resonating Life

The densely packed, standing ovoids of light are autonomous. When an ovoid is pushed over by people moving through or blown down by the wind, it rises back up as the color of its light changes and emits a tone specific to that color. The surrounding ovoids respond one after another, continuously changing to the same color and emitting the same tone.

When the wind is not blowing and the people nearby are not interacting with the ovoids, their lights begin to blink slowly.

작가

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.
