A World of Wonders
"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.
The exhibition features four spaces that offer kaleidoscopic colour schemes and multi-sensory activities. Each piece has its own distinct smell, including: the aroma of flowers, a forest, and “the universe”—a scent that astronaut Naoko Yamazaki helped create."
Crystal Universe
Crystal Universe teamLab, 2015, Interactive Digital Installation By installing LEDs in three-dimensional space, it is possible to create a real-time interactive, moving 3-D artwork. teamLab employed its original Interactive 4-D Vision in creating the Crystal Universe interactive installation of a seemingly infinite number of light particles positioned in a three-dimensional space.
A seasonal year of flowers bloom in this ever changing universe of flowers that spreads out into infinity in the dome art installation space. Viewers can use their smartphones to select butterflies and release them into the flower universe. Neither a pre-recorded animation nor on loop, the work is rendered in real time by a computer program.
