Sketch Smart Town

teamLab, 2016, Interactive Digital Installation, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

This city is a Smart Town of the future—created from pictures drawn by visitors.

Draw a picture on paper of whatever you'd like to add to the town: a car, a building, even a UFO or spaceship.

The picture you drew will then come to life inside the town, and a giant city will be created right before your eyes.

The town features renewable energy sources: hydroelectric, solar, wind, and forest-derived (biomass) energy generators.

By touching the town you can influence the weather, activating the various energy generating sources and prompting the town to grow and develop.

Touch a frog, for example, and rain will fall, generating power at the hydroelectric dam and causing the town to shine with light.

The town is built from the drawings everyone creates, and through the power of natural energy it becomes brighter and richer —teaching visitors and inspiring them to learn about natural energy and natural power sources.

Cómo interactuar con la obra

1
Color in the pictures of outlines of things that form a town (cars, buildings, etc.)
2
Scan your colored pictures.　
3
The pictures will then appear and start moving around the screen, creating a smart town.
4
Touch a frog and the rain will start to fall, generating power at the hydroelectric dam.
5
Touch a bird to make the sun shine, generating solar power.
6
Touch the clouds to make the wind blow and cause the wind turbines to spin, generating wind power.
7
Touch the trees to excite the forests and cause them to shine, generating forest-derived (biomass) energy.
8
Through natural energy, power is generated around the town, making it shine brighter and brighter.
