Wander, Explore, and Discover in One Continuous Borderless World
teamLab Borderless is a world of artworks without boundaries, a museum without a map created by art collective teamLab.

Artworks move out of rooms, relate to other works, influence each other, and at times intermingle, without boundaries. Through this group of works, one continuous world without boundaries is created.

Immerse your body in borderless art. Wander, explore with intention, discover, and create a world with others.

Borderless World

People understand and recognize the world through their bodies, moving freely and forming connections and relationships with others. As a consequence, the body has its own sense of time. In the mind, the boundaries between different thoughts are ambiguous, causing them to influence and sometimes intermingle with each other.

teamLab Borderless is a group of artworks that form one continuous, borderless world.
Artworks move out of the rooms freely, form connections and relationships with people, communicate with other works, influence and sometimes intermingle with each other, and have the same concept of time as the human body.

People wander through the world, exploring with intention, creating and discovering a new world with others.

Future Park

teamLab Future Park is an experimental educational project based on the concept of collaborative creation (co-creation). It is an amusement park where people can enjoy creating the world freely with others.

Sketch Ocean

All the various fish drawn by everyone swim around in this ocean.
Color in a fish on the paper provided and see the picture you have colored swim out into the ocean in front of you together with fish drawn by other people. If you touch the fish, they will swim away. You can also feed the fish by touching the food bags.
Sometimes, the fish leave the room, transcend the boundaries between artworks, and begin to swim.
The tuna swim out to Sketch Ocean’s around the world. Similarly, tuna drawn in other parts of the world may appear and swim into the Sketch Ocean right in front of you.

EN TEA HOUSE

Make tea and a flower blooms inside the teacup. Flowers bloom infinitely as long as there is tea. The tea in the bowl becomes an infinite world in which the flowers continue to bloom. Drink in the infinitely expanding world.

Entrance

People Don’t See the World as through a Camera

The words "teamLab Borderless" rise towards the forefront of the entrance space when they are viewed through a camera from a designated position. However, when they are viewed directly with the naked eye from the same position, the letters do not emerge to the front. People do not see the world as through a lens.

teamLab is interested in the fact that although the world is continuous and without boundaries, it is cognitively separated, and especially when viewed through a lens, the world in which one's body is located is separated from the world one is seeing.
Around 2001 when teamLab was founded, we began to think of lenses and perspective as one of the logical methodologies to turn a space into two dimensions, and began to search for a logic for the flattening of space that was different from that of lenses and perspective. We wanted to know how humans perceive the world and the ways in which perception and the body are related.

When the world is seen and captured through a lens:
1. The surface that the world is displayed on becomes a boundary, and the space cut out by the lens appears on the other side of that boundary. Between the world where the physical body is and the world that is being seen, a boundary is formed, and of course, it is cognitively unnatural to touch objects in the image.
2. The viewpoint is fixed, and subconsciously, people lose sense of their body.
3. In actuality, the field of view of humans is wide, and the viewpoint and focus move around a lot, but the world captured by a lens fixes the focus to one point, narrowing the field of view, and leading to a loss of sense of intention.

A logical methodology for the flattening of space that unlike a lens, the screen does not become a cognitive boundary, differs in that:

1. The physical body and the world that is cut out is continuous with each other;
where people can touch any part of the image.
2. People can perceive the world around them physically, and look at the image as they walk around because their focus can move around freely.
3. Each person can come near any part of the image.
4. People do not lose their sense of intention because the focus is infinite and the field of view is wide.

Searching for this kind of logical methodology for the flattening of space was the initial exploration of teamLab. We constructed a logical structure to turn an image into two dimensions, and called that flattened space Ultrasubjective Space.
Flowers are Crimson was one of the first artworks created in 2004-5 through Ultrasubjective Space, and here at teamLab Borderless, it appears as a remade form of that initial work through Walk, Walk, Walk: Search, Deviate, Reunite. Constructing a logical structure is very important to us, and the artwork spaces that are flatted through it hold a time of their own, express dynamic changes, and allow us to draw images that transform through the presence of people.

teamLab wants 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.
That - is the foundation of teamLab Borderless.

Getting Lost in Tokyo’s New teamLab Experience

As I approached the entrance of the new teamLab experience in Tokyo’s Azabudai Hills, it became clear that the relocated “digital art museum” would be a feast for the eyes. As viewers snapped their photos out front in the designated spot, large black vinyl lettering, which stretched over the hallways in elongated forms, came neatly together to spell out “teamLab Borderless”.(Excerpt from the text)

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 exhibitions have been held in cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne among others. teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, and teamLab SuperNature Macao, with more to open in cities including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht.

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