The Waterfall and People Create Vortices

The waterfall was created by reproducing the space of C Future City in a three-dimensional space on a computer, letting water fall into it, and simulating the movement of water as influenced by the shape of the space. As people approach the waterfall, the flow of the water changes. It is a universe of water particles influenced by C Future City and the people there.
When a person moves, a force is applied in that direction, thereby generating a flow. The difference in the velocities of the flow and the surrounding area creates a vortex. Force is also applied by the cascading waterfall. The waterfall is changed by the presence of people, and vortices are born due to the movements of people.
Water is represented as a continuum of numerous water particles. The interaction between the particles is calculated, and lines are drawn in relation to the behavior of the water particles. The lines are “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be Ultrasubjective Space.
The work is affected by people, and is in a state of perpetual, continuous change.

Flowers and People in the Cubic Honeycomb - A Whole Year per Year

The flowers of a year bud, grow, and blossom before their petals begin to wither and eventually fade away. The cycle of growth and decay repeats itself in perpetuity. When people approach and move around, the flowers scatter and fade away. But when people stand still near the artwork, flowers grow and bloom more abundantly.If a person stays still, the flowers surrounding them grow and bloom more abundantly.
The real time in which the viewer exists, the time of the city, and the time of the repeated life and death of the flowers, all of these different times intersect and overlap, while the viewer’s body, the city, and the world of the artwork remain connected. The artwork space is an overlap of different times and space.
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.

The waterfall changes its flow when people approach it.The flowers scatter when people move close and move around near them, and bloom when the people stay still. With the changing of the seasons, the cycle of growth and decay repeats itself in perpetuity.
The artwork is forever changing, influenced by the presence of people.

ARTISTA

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.
