100 Years Sea
100 Years Sea [running time: 100 years], which was unveiled in 2009, is a video work with a running time of 100 years. In the 100 years leading up to 2109, the sea level rises gradually from moment to moment.
Since we first presented the work, we have been pondering what kind of experience, what kind of exhibition, would be best for a work with a length of 100 years.
The sea level in the artwork that surrounds this space rises steadily each moment over the period of 100 years.
Here, visitors are enveloped by this gradually rising sea, experiencing the artwork as they enjoy dishes made from fish that would have otherwise been discarded*. We wanted this artwork experience to be one that takes into consideration and explores the sustainability of the beautiful and abundant oceans. And we wanted this space to be somewhere that people could experience over and over throughout a long period of time.
*The seafood dishes are 100% made using fish caught in the local sea that would have otherwise been discarded, and the meat dishes are entirely made from game meat of animals that are subject to extermination in the neighboring forest. While there are no accurate statistics on discarded fish, it is estimated that in most parts of the world, around 30 to 35% of total catch is discarded.
Additionally In Japan, due to factors such as the extinction of wolves and the increase of abandoned farmland, the estimated population of deer and wild boars has increased around tenfold and threefold respectively in 25 years, and more than 90% of deer and 95% of wild boars captured as vermin are discarded.

teamLab
teamLab是自2001年起開始活動的藝術團隊。通過團隊創作來探索藝術、科學、技術和自然界交匯點的國際性跨域藝術團隊。由藝術家、程式設計師、工程師、CG動畫師、數學家和建築師等各個領域的專家組成。
teamLab想通過藝術，摸索人與世界的關係和新的認知。人類爲了更好地認知世界，習慣性地把世界分割，並將其視爲具有邊界的事物。我們探索認知的邊界，並試圖超越人類對世界、對時間連續性的邊界的認知。世間萬物都是奇跡般地存在於積年累月且沒有邊界的連續性上的。
teamLab在紐約、倫敦、巴黎、新加坡、矽谷、北京、墨爾本等世界各地舉辦了藝術展。teamLab所開設的大型常設美術館有位於東京台場的「teamLab Borderless」、位於東京豐洲的「teamLab Planets」、位於上海黃浦濱江的「teamLab 無界上海」、位於澳門的「澳門 teamLab 超自然空間」，位於北京的「teamLab無相藝術空間」等等。今後還將有更多的美術館落地在漢堡、烏得勒支、吉達等地。
teamLab的作品被世界各大藝術機構收藏，如墨爾本維多利亞國家美術館（墨爾本）、悉尼新南威爾士州美術館（悉尼）、阿德萊德南澳大利亞藝術畫廊（阿德萊德）、赫爾辛基阿莫斯·雷克斯美術館（赫爾辛基）、舊金山亞洲藝術博物館（舊金山）、洛杉磯現代美術館（洛杉磯）、伊斯坦堡Borusan當代藝術收藏館（伊斯坦堡）、紐約亞洲協會博物館（紐約）。
