Infinite Crystal World

teamLab, 2018-, Interactive Installation of Light Sculpture, LED, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

Pointillism uses an accumulation of distinct dots of color to create a picture. Here, light points are used to create three-dimensional objects. The light sculpture extends infinitely in all directions.

Just as the existence of a whirlpool is maintained even if a person enters it, when continuity and structure are formed in a group of points, even if they are spatially and temporally separated, they may be recognised as a single existence. Even if a person enters that existence it is maintained, and at that point, the existence of the person and the sculpture become one.

People use their smartphones to select elements to throw into the Infinite Crystal World. These elements are reborn in three dimensions, creating the artwork. The presence of people and their location within the work affect these three-dimensional elements, which in turn influence and are influenced by other elements in the space.

This artwork is forever evolving, changing from moment to moment due to the people in the space.

This is a continuation of the Light Sculpture - Point series, which began with teamLab Crystal Tree in 2013.
