teamLab is expanding with a new permanent space for digital art in Kyoto, Japan. teamLab Biovortex Kyoto opens this autumn.
The new teamLab museum, located near Kyoto Station, will feature new and previously unreleased installations in Japan.
Like other teamLab sites, the attraction will allow guests to immerse themselves in artworks such as ‘Massless Amorphous Sculpture’ and ‘Massless Suns and Dark Suns’.
‘Massless Amorphous Sculpture’ is a floating sculpture that emerges from a sea of bubbles.
“It neither sinks to the ground nor rises completely to the ceiling, but instead drifts in the middle of space”, says teamLab.
“Even when people fully immerse themselves in this sculpture, its existence remains intact. If broken by people, it naturally restores itself,” teamLab adds.
Another installation, ‘Massless Suns and Dark Suns’, features countless spheres of light and darkness.
‘Traces of Life’
“The artwork cannot exist on its own – its existence is a phenomenon created by its environment,” says teamLab.
“The work questions the notion of existence and what it means.”
‘Morphing Continuum’ is described by teamLab as a “sculptural entity… created by the order of energy generated by the phenomena of a unique environment”.
Finally, ‘Traces of Life’ is an artwork space where visitors form glowing traces with their feet.
“The trace becomes one long trajectory that remains in the artwork space, and becomes one large existence”, says teamLab.
‘Massless Amorphous Sculpture’
More new installations for Kyoto will be unveiled by teamLab in the coming months, the art collective said in a press release.
In January, teamLab Planets in Tokyo opened its expansion, which includes several new interactive spaces for immersive art.
This came after teamLab Borderless reopened last year in its new home at Azabudai Hills in Tokyo.
Additionally, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi opened in the emirate’s Saadiyat Cultural District in April.
