Moving Creates Vortices and Vortices Create Movement

teamLab, 2017-, Interactive Digital Installation, Endless, Sound: teamLab

When a person moves, a flow is born, and that flow creates an influence that extends far and wide. The movement of other people will likewise create a flow, coming together and creating a vortex.

When people stop, or if people leave the space, the flow will eventually disappear and nothing will exist in the space.

The flow in the artwork is expressed as a continuum of particles, and lines are drawn in three-dimensional space according to the trajectories of those particles. The accumulation of lines that represent the work are then flattened according to what teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space.

Each particle releases an extremely brief tone when it moves. Through the movement of many particles, the tones turn into continuous music.

This artwork was commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria and is part of the museum’s permanent collection. It was also exhibited in the first NGV Triennial (2017-2018).
