Enso at the Confluence of Spacetime
teamLab, 2024, Digital Installation
The presence of people creates space and time, intersecting and creating new space-time. Within this spacetime a circle is drawn and the circle becomes one with the spacetime.
Enso is the Zen practice of drawing a circle with a single brush stroke. This artwork depicts an Enso drawn as Spatial Calligraphy. The brush stroke is suspended in space but the viewpoint changes to reveal the circle Enso. teamLab has been working on Spatial Calligraphy since the collective formed. A new interpretation of traditional calligraphy, Spatial Calligraphy reconstructs calligraphy in three-dimensional space and expresses the depth, speed and power of the brush stroke.
