Sketch Christmas

A Christmas world that is born from children’s pictures. 
Draw a picture of Santa Claus on a piece of paper, then, as if by magic he will appear in a town right in front of your eyes!
You can also draw other parts of the town that Santa Claus will come to visit, such as, cars, and buildings. The Christmas town that is created depends on what pictures you choose to draw. Each picture enters into the town along with the pictures drawn by others, and the drawings move around and come to life in the town. You can also decorate the town itself too. As the different pictures enter the town, different scenes evolve. You can also enjoy interacting with the pictures: touch a car, for instance, and it will speed up!

Graffiti Nature in a Beating Valley - Symbiotic Lives, A Whole Year per Year, Red List

Beating Valley is a three-dimensional terrain that shifts and undulates as visual and physical cognition become separated.

All the various creatures drawn by everyone live in the Beating Valley. Color in a creature on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life and move in front of you.
Living things eat and are eaten by other living things in one shared ecosystem.
The creatures you draw will multiply if they eat other living things, but they will die and disappear if they do not eat enough, or if they are eaten by other creatures.

The salamanders eat the snakes, the snakes eat the lizards, the lizards eat the frogs, and the frogs eat the butterflies, each one propagating as a result. Likewise, the butterflies multiply in places where flowers grow.
Although flowers will bloom if people stay still, their petals will scatter if people walk around and step on them. Salamanders will die if people step on them too much.
Living creatures spread throughout the world, increasing and decreasing in number. The creatures you have drawn may be increasing somewhere.

At times, the artwork responds to Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives II, and flowers of the current season in the real world begin to grow and bloom from the creatures. When people step on the animals made of flowers, the flower petals scatter.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List is a database of the conservation status of biological species. Wildlife assessed in the Red List, including threatened and endangered species, appear in this work.

Waterfall Droplets, Little Drops Cause Large Movement

Many water droplets fall and flow along the terrain.
When just one droplet splashes it bounces like a ball, but when people use their entire body to gather and collect the droplets, they act like water.
When the droplets separate from each other, they bounce like balls again.

A water molecule on its own is not liquid. In order for water to be a liquid, many water molecules must come together.
Because water molecules act like magnets, they stick to each other, forming a group of water molecules (a water cluster). Water clusters have an extremely short lifespan and are thought to be constantly being created and broken apart. They have a very dynamic structure and because of that, water can change into various forms.

Most living things and objects in this world, through properties that are more than the simple sum of the properties of their parts, appear as a whole.

SEASONALFrom Dec 01

Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives - A Whole Year per Year

Seasonal flowers bloom while slowly changing. Animals are born from those flowers. The flowers continue to bloom and die in an eternal cycle, forming the shapes of animals.
When people touch the animals, the flower petals scatter. If people touch the animals too much, all of the flowers will scatter, and the animals will die and fade away.

The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork, so previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Sliding through the Fruit Field

This is a slide where fruit grows.

Various kinds of fruit are growing on the slope. Balls are also bouncing around.
You become the sunlight and slide down the slope. When your body collides with the balls, your sunlight energy will be transferred to them, and they will go flying off in all directions. When the balls collide with the fruit, the fruit will begin to grow.
Each ball has a different role depending on its color.

A light blue ball represents water: when this ball hits the seeds, they sprout, bud, and blossom. When a yellow honey bee ball hits the flowers, they are pollinated, and the flowers become fruit.
When the fruit is hit by a ball, new seeds are sown, leading to new life.

Waterfall Droplets, Flowing Down a Slope

Many water droplets flow down a slope.
A single droplet bounces like a ball, but when many are gathered together, they behave like water. When they break apart, they behave like a ball again.
When people climb the steps up the hill, the droplets near the step receive energy and break apart.

Because water molecules act like magnets, they stick to each other, forming a group of water molecules (a water cluster).

Most living things and objects in this world, through properties that are more than the simple sum of the properties of their parts, appear as a whole.

Light Ball Orchestra

Rolling a light-ball changes its color and sound. Combined, the light-balls form an orchestra!

 The overhead light-balls communicate with those on the floor, as one is touched,  the surrounding balls will be affected, changing the color of the entire space. Roll the light-ball in front of you and it will change color and release sound. In the same space participants use their bodies, interacting with the different-sized light-balls to change the color of the space and to make music.

Hopscotch for Geniuses: Bounce on the Water

Bounce on the Water is a bouncy water floor. Children jump on the squares, triangles, and circles floating on the water.If you jump on the same shape in succession, a fish, butterfly, or bird is created for each shape.If you jump on the same color in succession, the color spreads out across the space.If you jump on the same shape or the same color in succession, the world will become richer and richer.If you touch the fish, butterflies, or birds that move along the walls, the animals will dissolve into the world.

Story of the Time when Gods were Everywhere

When people touch the characters that represent mountains, trees, birds, etc., that are projected on the wall, the world of the characters appears and a story is born. The objects that emerge from the symbols influence one another and are influenced by the actions of other people. For example, a bird lands on a tree, a sheep runs away from a dog, and a sheep dances as a child approaches it.

A Musical Wall where Little People Live

This is a musical wall where little people live.
When stamps of various shapes such as mushrooms, sheep barns, or long sticks of ice are attached to the wall, these objects appear in the world of the little people. The little people notice these and start jumping onto them.Depending on the stamp, the little people will slide, jump, or climb on top of them. If the stamp is removed, the stamp in the world of the little people will remain for a moment longer before disappearing.Attach various stamps to the wall, and the little people will play with delight.
Seeds with smiley faces come falling down from above. When the seeds hit the stamps, various notes in different pitches play depending on the type and position of the stamp they hit, eventually creating music.

A Table where Little People Live

This is a table where little people live.
If you put something, such as your hand, on top of the table, the little people will jump on to it. Depending on the shape of the objects you place on the table, the little people will slide, jump, or climb. Place many objects on the table and the little people will play with delight.

SKETCH FACTORY

Turn your own drawing into a product to take home with you.
The fish and creatures you drew and brought to life in Sketch Aquarium: Connected World and Graffiti Nature will be made into an original product such as a badge, hand towel, T-shirtt, or tote bag.

ARTIST

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.
