Galaxy & teamLab: Catching and Collecting in the Sea of Life
A showcase of the Galaxy brand that opened in Harajuku, Tokyo in March 2019.

Since 2022, Galaxy Harajuku has been collaborating with teamLab to offer an experiential center dedicated to engaging people with new discoveries in every visit, through transformative and unparalleled experiences that offer an insight into the future.

This exhibition at Galaxy Harajuku, Catching and Collecting in the Sea of Life, is a learning project based on the concept of Catch, Study, Release, in which people explore the world with their bodies, discovering, catching, and broadening their interests based on what they catch. Explore with a Galaxy smartphone, capture various sea creatures, study them, and create your very own collection book.

Sea creatures move between the physical world and the world in the Galaxy smartphone without boundaries.

By constantly challenging the impossible, Galaxy Harajuku creates innovative future experiences.

Catching and Collecting in the Sea of Life

Catching and Collecting in the Sea of Life is a new learning space based on the concept of Catch, Study, Release, in which people explore the world with their bodies, discovering, catching, and broadening their interests based on what they catch. Explore with your smartphone, capture various sea creatures, study them, and create your very own collection book.

Fish and other sea creatures have been an integral part of the human diet for centuries. Such fish are consumed on a daily basis. Some sea creatures are now endangered and some have already gone extinct, all these creatures live in this Sea of Life. When you touch a sea creature, it will run away or hide.

When you use the smartphone's camera to look at a fish swimming in the space and release a Study Arrow at the fish through the camera, the arrow flies out from the phone into the real space. When the Study Arrow reaches the fish, it disappears from the space and is added to the smartphone collection. Information about the captured fish will be stored in the app's collection book. To release the captured fish, swipe towards a location you can see in the app's camera and it will return to that location.

You can also throw a Study Net at your feet to catch sea creatures. Work together with those around you, use your body to drive sea creatures from the seafloor into the Study Net to capture them, and watch as they disappear from the space and, at the same time, appear in your collection book. Swipe the captured creatures away to release them at your feet.

The more you capture the same sea creature, the more detailed information you can record in your collection book.

ARTISTE

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.
