An Interactive Pond of Computer-Generated Koi Fish Designed by teamLab

Wading calf-deep into what looks like an infinite pool of water, visitors to Tokyo's Odaiba Minna no YUME-TAIRIKU 2016 festival walk slowly through teamLab's (previously) latest light mapping installation. A shallow pool of water is completely surrounded by mirrored ceilings and walls, highlighting the psychedelic nature of the thousands of computer-generated koi fish that are projected around the viewer's feet. The fish change speeds as they navigate the waters, often crashing into observers and bursting into scattered flowers upon contact. The interactive installation is one of four large-scale immersive experiences produced by the Japanese art collective for the festival which…

Step Inside a Swirling Mirror Room of Interactive Ocean Vortices by teamLab

 For their latest dizzying interactive installation, Japanese collective teamLab (previously) brought the ocean indoors, creating a projected environment that reacts to the movements of visitors, all encased within the infinite space of a mirror room. Titled "Moving Creates Vortices and Vortices Create Movement" the work is inspired in part by the life cycle of the ocean, particularly the movement of plankton as represented by the reactive particle effects that spin like whirlpools as you pass through the exhibition space. The speed and direction of people's movements are all factored into the projections and in the absence of motion the…

The Haze: A New Immersive Experience by teamLab Places Visitors at the Center of a Swirling Vortex

The Haze is a new immersive digital art installation from Japanese collective teamLab (previously) which situates guests at the center of a light-based vortex. The work uses light, fog, and sound to wrap guests in a mesmerizing cacophony of swirling spotlights which are reflected by a mirrored floor. A similar experience is created in the work Light Vortex II, which uses the same elements to choreograph an entirely different light show. TeamLab recently opened Borderless, a 100,000 square feet museum dedicated to their digital installations in Tokyo. You can view more videos documenting the group's projection-based works on their website and…

Four Seasons of Flowers Appear to Blossom and Wither in a Responsive Installation by teamLab

Illuminated columns protrude from the ground of bath house ruins in a new installation by teamLab (previously). The structures, which the Japanese collective refers to as "megaliths," feature moving images of waterfalls and flowers in a constant state of change. Over the course of an hour, visitors will experience one year of seasonal flowers bud, grow, blossom, and wither away. Incorporated into the megaliths is also imagery of flowing water that adapts to the movement of nearby viewers. Each element of the artwork is computer generated, unique, and will never appear in the same state again. Megaliths in the Bath…

An Immersive Digitally-Controlled Installation of 2,300 Suspended Flowers by Japanese Art Collective teamLab

Currently on display in Tokyo is “Floating Flower Garden,” an immersive, interactive installation of blossoming vegetation. Visitors enter a room filled with floating flowers. But as you approach them the flowers rise into the air, creating an air bubble within the dense forest. Multiple visitors can move through the installation at once as the flowers move away from them and surround them. “In this interactive floating flower garden viewers are immersed in flowers, and become completely one with the garden itself.” Think of it as Rain Room but with flowers. Floating Flower Garden is the latest installation by TeamLab, a…
