Visitors Participate in the Art, Becoming One with Light in a Dazzling Space
teamLab is an ultra-technologist collective composed of specialists including programmers, engineers, graphic designers, and architects. They operate by blurring the boundaries between art, science, and technology.
This exhibition utilizes teamLab's proprietary technology, "Interactive 4D Vision," which enables the real-time display of 3D moving objects as solid forms by arranging LEDs in a three-dimensional space. It is an installation artwork that expresses the movement of light in the universe by arranging countless lights as particles in a 3D space.
Furthermore, there is an interactive mechanism where visitors access a smartphone browser, select an element that constitutes the universe, and swipe it towards the artwork, thereby creating the universe. Visitors can appreciate the artwork while walking through a universe of light rendered in 3D visuals. The entire space is affected by their movements, and the light continuously transforms.
