The Way of the Sea in the Botanical Garden - Colors of Life

The school of fish illuminated by the light move freely through space, and their trails of light become spatial calligraphy. The fish sense people in the space and try to avoid colliding with them.
“The way of the bird” is a saying in Zen which refers to the fact that unlike a human road the road of the bird is not fixed. It means freedom and leaving no trace. Here the birds are replaced with fish.
The movement of thousands or tens of thousands of fish is beautiful and mysterious, like a single giant life form. The school of fish has neither a leader nor mutual consensus, but just moves on the simple basis of; if my neighbor moves, then I move, too. However, the biological mechanism that causes hundreds of fish to move at the same time is still enigmatic. It seems there is a universal principle that human beings do not yet understand. The group of trails of light drawn in the space have no meaning as a whole, while being influenced by the existence of people, the lines are drawn by the movement of each fish that seems to obey some kind of primitive rule.
The work is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it is based on a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork; previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Resonating Botanical Garden

Rare plants are lit up brightly in the botanical garden. Each plant’s light is autonomous, shining brightly and then fading.
When people pass by or approach a plant, the color of the light changes and a new color resonates out. Then, the light of that plant radiates out and is transmitted to nearby plants. The propagated light of the plants will again resonate, and the color will continue to resonate to nearby plants.
When a light resonates from deep within the Botanical Garden, it signifies the presence of people. Perhaps people will become more aware of the existence of other living things in the space they share.

What a Loving, and Beautiful World

Each character has its own world. When people touch the letters, the worlds of the characters appear, and they influence each other, creating one single world. Rain, snow, and flowers are affected by the wind, birds perch on trees, and butterflies are attracted to flowers.When other artworks touch the letters, the worlds they contain appear as well. The worlds created by people interact with the worlds created by other people and other works, creating new imagery.The artwork seen at this moment in time can never be seen again.
At times, the artwork spreads far and wide.

ARTIEST

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.
