Gold Waves - Lujiazui Station

teamLab, 2021, Digital Installation, W112420 mm H2890 mm

This artwork spans 112 meters and is located within Shanghai’s Lujiazui metro station, in the transit corridor between line no.2 and the newly built line no.14.


The movement of waves in water is simulated in a computer-generated three-dimensional space. The water is expressed as a continuous body after calculating the interactions of hundreds of thousands of particles. To visualize the waves, the behavior of the particles of the water was then extracted and lines were drawn in relation to the movement of the particles. The wave created in a 3-D space is then turned into an artwork in accordance with what teamLab refers to as Ultrasubjective Space.
