teamLab will present teamLab Digital Furniture, the furniture of the future, at the world's largest international design trade fair, MILANO SALONE 2014(Milan, Italy), from April 8 (Tues.) to April 13 (Sun.), 2014.

teamLab Digital Furniture

“teamLab Digital Furniture” is an interactive interface depending on the actions of the people around it.
When you touch, move or put something on the furniture, it makes people happier or communicates with other people around it.
Utilizing all “teamLab Digital Furniture” as a common interface allows the creation of a space where people can get immersed and feel emotionally involved.

Connecting! Train Block

In Connecting! Train Block, cars and trains run along roads and railroad tracks that are connected by wooden blocks. As children place different blocks on the table, more cars and trains appear, forming a townscape. Children play by placing the blocks in different positions to create a town collaboratively with other children.

A Table where Little People Live

This is a table where little people live.
If you put something, such as your hand, on top of the table, the little people will jump on to it. Depending on the shape of the objects you place on the table, the little people will slide, jump, or climb. Place many objects on the table and the little people will play with delight.

Media Block Chair

This installation consists of three male-connection and three female-connection light cube chairs. Each cube, or block, is a stand-alone chair. The interconnecting blocks can be joined to make a bench, another piece of furniture, or a wall. When the blocks are joined, information passes from one block to another and their color changes.

Children freely join the blocks to change the design and color of the space. Their actions alone, especially those that change the form and function of the blocks, change the space and give enjoyment. This is the concept of new value in behavior.

Learn and Play! teamLab Future Park

People who are both creative and can create as a team will play an increasingly active part in the 21st Century.

Japanese education at present emphasizes memorization from childhood and is focused on extending the comprehensive ability of individuals culminating in evaluation in a test. There is very little room for creativity or team evaluation - we are forced to give priority to individualism.

Co-creation is creating through cooperation. This is very important for children’s learning.

Using the latest technology, children in the same space can by freely moving their body influence and collaborate with each other - whilst enjoying themselves they can be creative! Learn and Play! teamLab Future Park is a future play park with the hope of encouraging children to become creative through collaboration.

By compiling experimentation and verification, we plan to go on to produce more works along the same theme, and we plan to go on to present “Learn and Play! teamLab Future Park” at many events and non-permanent exhibition places.

Sketch Aquarium

All the various fish drawn by everyone swim around in this aquarium.

Color in a fish on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life, swimming out into the massive aquarium in front of you together with the fish drawn by other people. If you touch the swimming fish, they will swim away. You can also feed the fish by touching the food bags.

Additional Exhibit

The TOKYO SKYTREE mural

The Tokyo Skytree mural is located on the Fourth floor of Tokyo Skytree®. Ten monitors are embedded in the wall, forming a seamless picture; the images shown on the monitors are digital animation.
In traditional Japanese art, there is no center of focus, there is no fixed time frame, and a vast amount of information is often depicted. This artwork presents Tokyo as a mix of reality and fiction, past and future. The overwhelming amount of visual information contained in this large mural was completely hand-drawn with the support of digital technology.
The city is made up of the stories of each and every person living there. That is what makes Tokyo such an exciting and interesting place. Traditional Japanese screen paintings such as Rakuchu rakugai zu (Scenes in and around the Capital) and Edo-zu byobu (Folding screen picture of Edo) have no central point of focus and are "flat"—everything is depicted with the same degree of importance. The paintings contain detailed visual information, even down to the stories of each person.
We have created this picture of Tokyo as a continuation of the traditional form of artistic expression, incorporating the techniques of Ukiyo-e and reproducing the methods of Edo printing by using the latest digital technology.
Based on our conviction that technological evolution brings about human evolution, this mural exceeds the hand-drawn limitations of picture-making and links the Tokyo of the Edo period to the Tokyo of the future.

The top 5 best events from the Milan Furniture Fair - Salone del Mobile

I covered the 2014 edition of the Fuorisalone from top to bottom, from the white smooth space to rough and dusty concrete or the space with soft LED reflections. Digital was competing with kids drawings, and memories were buried one after another by technology innovations. Past and present were mixing everywhere in the city. Nostalgia of the past and new challenges made this design week exciting.Here are 5 examples that are mixing both of these concept very well.Sketch AquariumTeamLab presented an aquarium in which fish drawn on paper by children swim freely, creating colorful shapes that then swim along with those drawn by other children in a large aquarium. Fish of the same shape create crowds, and when children come close to the aquarium they can also feed their fish.

ARTIEST

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 exhibitions have been held in cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne among others. teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, and teamLab SuperNature Macao, with more to open in cities including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht.

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