Flowers bloom in each season, change every moment, and life spreads out into the universe.

When you lie down or sit still in that space, your body will eventually float and melt into the work.

A flower grows, sprouts, blooms, and eventually the petals scatter and the flower dies. The cycle of life and death continues forever.

Artwork is not a pre-recorded image that will be played back. created by a computer program that continuously renders artwork in real time. All in all, it is continuously changing, never recreating its previous visual state. The universe at this moment can never be seen again.

A carp that swims on an infinite surface of water. People can enter the water.

A koi’s movement is affected by the presence of people in the water and other koi. When a fish hits a person, it turns into a flower and scatters. Throughout the year, the flowers that bloom change with the seasons.

A carp’s trajectory is determined by the presence of a person, and its trajectory draws a line on the surface of the water.

The work is rendered in real time by a computer program. It is neither pre-recorded nor on-loop. The interaction between the viewer and the installation brings constant change to the artwork. Previous visual states cannot be duplicated and cannot recur.

[teamLab]

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaboration aims to bring together art, science, technology and the natural world. A group of interdisciplinary professionals, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new ways of perception through art.

To understand the world around them, people divide it into independent entities and recognize boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perception of our world, the relationship between ourselves and the world, and the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, ephemeral yet miraculous continuity that transcends borders.

teamLab exhibitions are held in cities around the world, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne. The teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, teamLab SuperNature Macau, teamLab Massless Beijing, and cities such as Abu Dhabi, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht. More facilities will open in

TeamLab’s work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Museum of New South Wales, Sydney. South Australian Art Gallery, Adelaide. Asian Art Museum, San Francisco. Asia Society Museum, New York. Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul. National Gallery of Victoria,
