What a Loving, and Beautiful World

Each character has its own world. When people touch the letters, the worlds of the characters appear, and they influence each other, creating one single world. Rain, snow, and flowers are affected by the wind, birds perch on trees, and butterflies are attracted to flowers.When other artworks touch the letters, the worlds they contain appear as well. The worlds created by people interact with the worlds created by other people and other works, creating new imagery.The artwork seen at this moment in time can never be seen again.
At times, the artwork spreads far and wide.

Flower and Corpse Glitch

Created in 12 scenes, this illustrated story features the theme of “The clash, cycle, and symbiosis between nature and culture.”

The world of the artwork is created in three-dimensional space on a computer, visualizing ultrasubjective space within 12 perspectives. The surface peels away, revealing the underside of the artworks surface.

Three-dimensional shapes are represented on the computer as abstract, higher-order information described by a grid construction. In other words, when the surfaces of those three-dimensional rendered objects are peeled away, it is apparent that they are created from various combinations of grids. This work allows a glimpse peels away the surface, allowing a glimpse into the creative process.

Best of Singapore Art Exhibitions in 2012

SINGAPORE – For visual arts in Singapore, 2012 will likely be remembered as the year Gillman Barracks opened, a cluster of new art galleries. But beyond this government-led opening, many other new international galleries independently also found their way to the city-state attesting to the interest in the region. Meanwhile, the quality of the exhibitions on offer also seems to go from strength to strength. Within one month this fall, Richard MacDonald, Bernar Venet, Richard Deacon, and Zadok Ben-David were all in town opening separate shows.4 of 11"The Experience Machine" at Ikkan Art GalleryThe immersive exhibition of new media art allowed viewers the opportunity to interact with and contribute to many artworks. Of particular note was "What a Loving, and Beautiful World" by Japanese calligrapher Sisyu and teamLab an interactive animation installation where slowly falling kanji (the characters used in Japan) for words like ‘rain,’ ‘flower’ and ‘butterfly’ transform when touched by a viewer’s shadow to become the image of the word they represent while a corresponding sound is heard.

用新媒体艺术构建虚拟现实

随着技术革命和不断进步的数字创新,看起来已经被广泛接受成为美学表达手段的视频和数字艺术,才不过是冰山一角罢了. 这已经非常明显了，尤其在9名国际艺术家创办了13年的新加坡一贯艺术展上，展现的更加明显。这个展览名为“体验机器”，一直开到10月27日。我在丹戎巴葛欣赏一贯艺术展时，完全被这些超现实主义的景观震撼了。而这些景观是我共同参与创造的，我认为这是来自东京的团体实验室最有创意和令人着迷的作品。他们的CEO是猪子寿之先生（生于1977年）。 “世界是那么可爱，那么的美丽”这件作品由团体实验室创造，他们拥有来自不同国家的数百名交叉学科人员。他们和紫舟先生合作，紫舟先生是一名探索日本汉字的情感和视觉力量的倡导者，他和音乐家高桥英明合作。尽管交互作品已经兴起一段时间了，但是他并不仅是字面上理解的那样把观众变成自我创建的世界中一部分，让他们去体会作为创造者的感受。在为了这样种特殊目的建造的空间中，所有东西一开始都是黑色的，就像地球被创造出来之前一样。直到汉字标记从被我们触摸的四壁或阴影中随机出现时，才会出现变化。触摸到花的标记，整个空间就会充满花朵。如果是鸟的标记和树标记同时出现，这个空间中又会出现成群飞行的小鸟落在树枝上。而当你触摸了风的标记，屏幕上所有的东西都会被风吹走，包括那些汉字。如果同时触摸花和蝴蝶的标记，蝴蝶们会自动寻找花朵。从纽约搬到新加坡还不到一年的画廊主真田一贯介绍说，这里所有的角色都被设计成具有人工智能的。当我站在黑暗中，目睹月亮出现，照耀出的整个绚丽夜景，感觉犹如经历了创世纪中的故事一般。当然，区别也是显而易见的，只要你触摸另一个标记，之前的所有场景都会立刻消失，被新场景取而代之了，这似乎也在暗示我们世间事物的短暂易逝。同样，人为的干预操作也可理解为人类在自然界必须扮演应有的角色和作用。在2012年春季欧洲最大的虚拟现实沙龙Laval Virtual上，这件作品被评为建筑、艺术、和文化奖。团体实验室的另一件作品，花与尸剥落，将平面日本画转换制作成为的3D立体空间，旨在表现亚洲和西方艺术的审美区别。团体实验室说，古代日本人是由内心出发作画的，模糊主观和客观，也没有聚焦的焦点之处，而西方美术更强调透视、几何以及客体的重要性。

teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra;  Amos Rex, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum, New York, among others.
