Digital art collective teamLab has reopened its Borderless destination in a new home in Tokyo’s Azabudai Hills complex.
The teamLab digital art museum has relocated to Tokyo’s Odaiba waterfront to the Azabudai Hills urban village.
The new space is a world of artworks without boundaries. Like with teamLab’s other venues, these artworks evolve and shift to different locations to create a single, interrelated universe.
“We wanted to create a physical, spatial art that expands infinitely, where people walk around with intention; a physical art that becomes one with the body, changes through the presence of people; where the artwork world is continuous with the body,” said teamLab founder Toshiyuki Inoko. “That is the foundation of teamLab Borderless.”
teamLab has created various pieces for the new attraction, which contains more than 50 digital artworks.
One of these is the ‘Light Sculpture – Flow’ series, which creates massive sculptures with flowing light. “We’re working on the new Light Sculpture artworks right now, and it’s incredible,” said Inoko.
“I have no idea what’s going on in the space. I was sucked into the universe, and became one with it.”
Another teamLab Borderless artwork is ‘Microcosmoses – Wobbling Light’, in which wobbling lights run continuously through an infinitely expanding space.
Immersive installations in new teamLab space
The inaugural exhibition at teamLab Borderless, named Bubble Universe, is an interactive installation containing lit-up and reflective spheres.
Another new exhibition is named Megalith Crystal Formation and is divided into two parts – Flowers and People and Black Waves.
In Flowers and People, guests experience flowers growing, blossoming and then dying. Black Waves explores how all oceans are connected to each other.
Elsewhere, the new teamLab Phenomena museum in Abu Dhabi is now 70 percent completed.
