WERKE

Sketch Flight

Color in an airplane, butterfly, or hawk on the paper provided and see the picture you have drawn appear three-dimensionally, flying through the world in front of you. If you touch them, they speed up or fly away.
You can control the plane, butterfly, or hawk with the tablet and see the world from their perspectives on the screen.For example, butterflies have a 344-degree horizontal field of vision, and almost a 360-degree vertical field of vision. With the tablet, you can see the world not only in front of you, but on both sides and behind you as well.Hawks can see two things clearly at once. They can observe small creatures on the ground while looking ahead of them as they fly. Tap an area you want to zoom in on the tablet, and that area will appear bigger on the screen.
Each living creature understands the world only through their own perception, so the world looks different depending on the creature. Such worlds constructed upon each creature’s unique perceptual experiences are called umwelt.

Connecting! Block Town

Create a city where trains, cars, boat and planes run, by placing connecting blocks on the table.The same type of blocks can connect to each other, allowing vehicles to run along roads and train tracks created by the connections. The vehicles will evolve as you connect more blocks. What you see in the air is the view from a helicopter. You can change the helicopter's flight route with the yellow cube connecting blocks.

Solidified Spark - Circular Rainbow

Reality is not what we see. What we see is a world that we are capable of perceiving.

A sphere made of accumulated rays of light.
The light radiates from the center in infinite fine rays, creating its spherical shape. The light source remains motionless, yet the countless lines emitting from it wriggle continuously. In the center, a circular rainbow appears.

The sphere has no surface boundary, and the perception of the boundary between the artwork and the body is ambiguous. When you try to touch a sphere, your hand goes into the sphere as it does not have a physical boundary.

What is this sphere? Why do the rays wriggle?
Our world is within us.

And once we recognize this sphere made of accumulated lines, our perception of the world expands, and we will begin to notice them wherever we go.

Massless Sun, Surface Boundary of an Emerged Space

A sphere of light.The sphere of light can be clearly perceived in the space as a mass seemingly made of solidified light, however, there is no material surface boundary. The perception of the boundary between the artwork and your body is ambiguous.Likewise, there is no material surface boundary in the window of space in which the sphere appears, but a cognitive surface boundary that exists only in people’s perception emerges.
Light does not solidify, and masses made entirely of light do not exist in the universe. In other words, this sphere of light only exists in your perception.
The artwork cannot exist on its own - its existence is a phenomenon created by its environment.The work questions the notion of existence and what it means.

Black Waves in Layered Ultrasubjective Space

All oceans are connected to each other, and so are all the waves in this world.

In classical East Asian art, waves are often expressed using a combination of lines. These waves created by lines allow us to realize that each wave is one part of a larger flow, and conveys life as though the waves are a living entity.

When the waves rise, we can feel a powerful breath of life, as though life is blooming. It feels as though each wave has a life of its own. But when the waves collapse and disappear, we realize, with a sense of fragility, that they were a part of the ocean. And that ocean is connected to all of the other oceans. In other words, all of the waves in the world are connected to each other.
The waves seem alive because life is like a rising wave. It is a miraculous phenomenon that continuously emerges from a single, continuous ocean.

Multiple screens are positioned in the exhibition space and in the same positional relationship as the screens, multiple viewpoints are placed in the artwork world and cut out through Ultrasubjective Space.
These cut out spaces are then placed onto the screens. Ultrasubjective Space allows the space around multiple viewpoints to be cut and rearranged together so that the space of the artwork world is layered in the exhibition space.

Continuous Enso

Enso, a Zen practice of drawing a circle with a single brush stroke, is continuously drawn in the space.Enso has since ancient times been written with canes or sticks in midair. It is said to represent enlightenment, truth, the entirety of the universe, and equality. The circle also reflects the hearts and minds of those who view it, with its interpretation left to the individual.

Proliferating Immense Life in Layered Ultrasubjective Space

Seasonal flowers of the year repeat the cycle of life and death, proliferating and dying out, continually changing with the flow of time.

Multiple screens are positioned in the exhibition space and in the same positional relationship as the screens, multiple viewpoints are placed in the artwork world and cut out through Ultrasubjective Space.
These cut out spaces are then placed onto the screens. Ultrasubjective Space allows the space around multiple viewpoints to be cut and rearranged together so that the space of the artwork world is layered in the exhibition space.

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.
