Galaxy ＆ teamLab: Catching and Collecting in the Sacred Forest
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 Sacred Forest,  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.

Animals 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 Sacred Forest

The Catching and Collecting in the Sacred Forest 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 animals, study them, and create your very own collection book.

Endangered animals and animals that have already gone extinct live in this sacred forest. When you touch an animal, it will turn to face you or run away.

When you use the smartphone's camera to look at an animal moving in the space, and then shoot a Study Arrow at the animal in the camera’s view, the arrow flies out from the phone into the real space. When the animal is hit by the arrow, it disappears from the space and is added to the smartphone collection. Information about the animals you capture will be stored in the app's collection book. When you swipe a captured animal towards a location you can see in the app’s camera, the animal is released and returns to that location.

You can also throw a Study Net at your feet to catch animals. Work together with those around you, use your body to drive animals 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 animals away to release them at your feet.

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

ARTISTA

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.
