teamLab: Digitized Kochi Castle

코치성은 1601년부터 약 10년의 세월에 걸쳐 창건되었습니다. 그 후 화재로 인해 대부분이 소실되었으나 에도시대 중기에 창건 당시의 모습으로 재건되었습니다. 일본에서는 유일하게 성루뿐만 아니라 성 전체의 구조물이 거의 그대로 남아있는 중요한 성입니다. 

teamLab은 아트 프로젝트 ‘Digitized City’를 진행하고 있습니다. 비물질적인 디지털 테크놀로지에 의해 ‘자연이 자연 그대로 예술이 되다’를 테마로 한 프로젝트입니다.

에도시대의 모습을 오늘날에까지 전해오고 있는 코치성. ‘teamLab: Digitized Kochi Castle’을 통해, 코치성이 사람들의 존재에 의해 변화하는 인터랙티브 디지털 아트 공간으로 탈바꿈합니다.

작품

Autonomous Resonating Life and Resonating Trees

The resisting and resonating ovoids placed amongst the trees shine. The light of the ovoids and the light of the trees are autonomous: they shine brightly and then fade slowly, as though they are breathing.

When an ovoid is pushed, the color of the light it emits changes and a tone unique to that color echoes out. The light that originated from that ovoid resonates out to other ovoids and trees nearby. The tone resonates out continuously in the same way as the light, spreading throughout the ovoids and trees.

If a wave of light comes from the other side, it signifies the presence of people there. People gain a heightened sense of awareness of the existence of other people in the same space.

Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives in the Stone Wall – Kochi Castle

Flowers grow from the bodies of animals that inhabit the stone walls of Kochi Castle. The walls themselves are built on top of the undisturbed natural rock landscape.The flowers bud, bloom, scatter and fade away in a continuous cycle.When people move close to the animals the flowers scatter. Once all of the flowers have scattered the animals disappear.

Waves of Light of Kochi Castle

Kochi castle is considered an important castle in Japan, as it is the only castle where the castle tower and nearly all of the central structure remain intact. The artwork depicts waves on the fusuma sliding doors of the passageways that connect the outer and inner sections of the castle.
The movement of waves is simulated in a computer-generated three-dimensional space. The water is expressed as a continuous body after calculating the interactions of hundreds of thousands of particles. To visualize the waves, the behavior of the particles of the water was then extracted and lines were drawn in relation to the movement of the particles. The wave created in a three-dimensional space is then turned into an artwork in accordance with what teamLab refers to as ultrasubjective space.

In premodern Japanese painting, oceans, rivers, and other bodies of water were expressed as a series of lines. These lines give the impression of life, as though water was a living entity.  
This form of expression leads us to question why premodern people sensed life in rivers and oceans. Also, why did they behave as if they themselves were a part of nature? Perhaps something can be discovered by fusing the fixed objective world of today’s common knowledge with the subjective world of premodern people.
While viewing this artwork, if we feel a sense of life in the collection of lines—what can be called the subjective world of premodern people—then perhaps this is one aspect of objective recognition.
When viewing this artwork, as opposed to watching waves shot with a video camera, people may feel that the barrier between themselves and the waves disappears. They feel immersed in the work, perhaps even feeling life in the collection of lines, as if the waves are luring them in. Perhaps we can find a connection to the way premodern Japanese people perceived the world and consequently behaved toward the world.
If we regard ourselves as a part of nature, and consider nature not just as something to be observed, we might join premodern people in perceiving rivers and oceans as living entities. This is a way of seeing the world that lures us in and allows us to feel that there is no boundary between ourselves and nature.

Breathing Resonating Stone Wall – Kochi Castle

Kochi castle is considered an important castle in Japan, as it is the only castle where the castle tower and nearly all of the central structure remain intact. Its stone walls glow across the whole 500 meters. The light of the walls is autonomous, it shines brightly and then fades, as if breathing slowly.

The light of the walls joins together with Resonating Tree and Autonomous Resonating Life in the Ninomaru and Sannomaru ruins area, glowing brightly and producing a colour tone that resonates out.

Resonating Kochi Castle

The light of Kochi Castle is autonomous, it shines brightly and then fades as if slowly breathing.The outer grounds house Resonating Tree and Autonomous Resonating Life, while the wall that extends from them to the Gate is home to Breathing Resonating Stone Wall - Kochi Castle. These artworks emit light, resonating, and shining brighter.

Sketch Ryoma & Friends　

This park is a place where the historical figures of Kochi meet.

Draw and color in the historical figures of Kochi, (Sakamoto Ryoma, Sakamoto Otome, Itagaki Taisuke, Chosokabe Motochika, Yamauchi Katsutoyo, and Chiyo) along with people (boys and girls). Then, see the characters come to life and walk around on a giant screen right in front of you.

Touch the people, and they will react with surprise and perform various actions.
Touch the historical figures, and they will begin to speak.

THE COUNTDOWN: teamLab Digitizes Kōchi Castle

Ancient castles dot Japan's landscape, many dating back to the Sengoku period of the 15th and 16th century. Though they were built to last—and utilized more stone than typical Japanese structures—these fortresses were still primarily made of wood and most were repeatedly damaged or destroyed and rebuilt.（Excerpt from the text）

작가

teamLab

아트 컬렉티브 teamLab은 2001년 활동을 시작했다. 국경을 넘어선 연대 속에 집단 창작의 방식으로 예술, 과학, 테크놀로지 그리고 자연계의 교차점을 학제적 접근으로 모색한다. 아티스트, 프로그래머, 엔지니어, CG 애니메이터, 수학자, 건축가 등 다양한 분야의 전문가들로 구성된 teamLab은 예술을 통해 인간과 자연, 개인과 세계의 새로운 관계를 탐구하고 표현한다.
 
teamLab은 우리에게 익숙한 모든 경계에 대해 질문한다. 인간은 각자를 둘러싼 바깥 세상을 감각 기관으로 인지해 스스로와 분리하고 낱낱을 경계지어 독립체로 구분하려 한다. 현대 문명은 그런 방식으로 세계를 이해해 왔다. teamLab은 예술을 통해 감각을 확장하고 개인과 세계의 경계, 시간의 연속성에 대한 인지의 경계를 넘어설 수 있다고 믿는다. 이 세계의 모든 것은 광대한 시간 속에, 생명의 끝없는 연속 안에 가까스로, 하지만 기적적으로 존재하고 있다.

teamLab의 작품은 시드니 뉴사우스웨일스 주립 미술관, 애들레이드 사우스오스트레일리아 미술관, 샌프란시스코 아시아 미술관, 뉴욕 아시아 소사이어티, 이스탄불 보루산 현대 미술관, 멜버른 빅토리아 국립 미술관, 헬싱키 아모렉스가 영구 소장하고 있다.
