Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives

teamLab, 2017-, Interactive Digital Installation, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

Animals are born from Flowers and People and are made from the flowers of the place where they were born. Since the flowers in the places where they are born change over time, the flowers that make up the animals also change. Flowers continue to form animals through a repeated cycle of birth and death.
When people touch the flowers of the animals, the flowers scatter. If people touch the animal too much, the animal will die and fade away.

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.
