Spatial Dialogues | teamLab

Masses of spacetime exist in disarray, and the spacetimes of each mass connect to each other.
When people stand in front of the flames burning within the mass, a black absolute existence appears.
Flames are a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion; it is a vaporized or decomposed substance in a state of flow. It is our sensory experience of seeing what is in between phenomenon and substance. People perceive fire as a single object through this sensory experience, and may even sometimes feel life in it.
Lines are drawn in relation to the flow of combusting gas in the masses and the flames are created by the accumulation of those lines in three-dimensions. The lines are then “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be Ultrasubjective Space to represent the flames.
teamLab is exploring the concept of Distributed Art.If you launch the Distributed Fire smartphone application and approach this artwork, the flame will ignite and you can take the artwork home with you. When you bring that flame close to another person's smartphone, a flame will alight. As you connect the flame, and they connect that flame with someone else, the flame will spread all over the world. The flames that are spread are displayed on the Map of The Flame.
Distributed Art duplicates itself, or a part of an artwork is distributed among people. Then, once in the hands of the people, the artwork is further actively distributed, and also makes copies of itself. The artworks will be distributed and exist on people's networks and become decentralized. When the artwork exists on the network, it continues to exist even if the original disappears.

The contours of life’s existence are not the surface boundary of the body, but something ambiguous that includes the environment that is continuous with it.As long as people live, they dissipate energy and affect the environment, such as the flow of air.In this artwork, the existence of the birds are depicted through the energy they dissipate into the world.
Being consists of the mind, the body, and the environment that is continuous with them.
Objects like stones and man-made creations so far have maintained a stable structure on their own. But life is different. Whereas a stone can continue to exist in a closed box, sealed off from the outside world, life would cease to exist.
Life is like a vortex created in the ocean. A vortex forms and exists in a flow of matter, and the boundaries of its existence are ambiguous.  
Although a vortex is steady, it is constantly moving and swelling like a powerful life-form. The vortex cannot maintain a stable structure on its own; rather, it is created and sustained by water that continuously flows inwards and outwards.
The same is true of life. It consumes external matter and energy as food and discharges it, sustaining its ordered structure as the energy dissipates. In other words, life does not exist by itself. It is the environment that is continuous with it that maintains the structure of life. 
Life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges from a flow in an open world. Like an ocean vortex, it is an existence with ambiguous boundaries in an infinite continuity.
To be alive is to be inseparable from the world, constantly dissipating energy into it.

人類自身和環境是“不二”的，也就是說看上去是不同的，但實際是同一的，不分彼此且無法分離的。這裡的“無法分離，指的或許並非是統合，而是對於雖然看上去是兩個不同的東西，但實際上是同一物體的再認知。
用“空書”在立體地書寫著像征著生命和生存的“生”字。“空書”是teamLab從創立以來一直延續的，在空間裡書寫的書法。書法特有的墨跡，深淺度、速度和力度，在全新詮釋的空間裡被立體的再構建，通過teamLab的“超主觀空間”的理論結構被二次元化。書法在平面和立體之間不斷巡回。
生存在現代社會的我們，把我們所思考的“生”用形態表現出來。
