Catching and Collecting in the Dinosaur Forest

An educational project based on the concept of Catch, Collect, Research, in which people use their bodies to explore, discover, gather knowledge, and expand their curiosity. Explore with your smartphone, capture various prehistoric animals such as dinosaurs, research them, and create your very own collection book. 
Prehistoric animals  that have already gone extinct live in this dinosaur forest. When you move close to the animals or touch them, they will run away or turn to face you.
When you use the smartphone's camera to look at an animal moving in the space, and release a Research Eye at the animal in the camera’s view, the eye flies out from the phone into the real space. When the Research Eye reaches the animal, that animal disappears from the space and is added to the smartphone collection. Information about the animals you catch will be stored in the app’s collection book. When you swipe a captured animal towards a location you can see in the app’s camera, the animal is released and returns to that location.
You can also throw a Research Net at your feet to catch animals. Work together with those around you, use your body to drive animals into the Research Net to capture them, and watch as they disappear from the space and, at the same time, appear in your collection book.
The more you capture the same animal, the more detailed information you can record in your collection book.

teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra;  Amos Rex, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum, New York, among others.
