teamLab, Multi Jumping Universe (c) teamLab - Multi Jumping is a flexible surface that people can jump on, and sink or jump higher than usual. When you stand on Multi Jumping, the surface beneath your feet sinks, creating warps in space and time. This distortion attracts stardust from the universe and births new stars. If you jump on top of a star, it begins to move, and if you continue to jump on the star it will grow and you will be able to experience the entire life cycle of the star.

teamLab, Aerial Climbing through a Flock of Colored Birds (c) teamLab - Aerial Climbing is a space where horizontal bars of varying colors are suspended by ropes and float three-dimensionally in the air. People use these bars to navigate the space in mid-air through three dimensions, trying not to fall.

teamLab, Balance Stepping Stones in the Invisible World (c) teamLab - Balance Stepping Stones are stepping stones that interactively change when a person steps on them, emitting a color and tone that affect the space. When a person steps on a stone, it wobbles in various ways.

teamLab, Sliding through the Fruit Field (c) teamLab - This is a slide where fruit grows. You become the sunlight and slide down the slope. When your body collides with the water balls and honey bee balls, your energy will be transferred to them, and they will go flying off in all directions. When the balls collide with the fruit, the fruit will begin to grow.

Photo

teamLab, Waterfall Droplets, Flowing Down a Slope (c) teamLab - Many water droplets flow down a slope. A single droplet bounces like a ball, but when many are gathered together, they behave like water. When they break apart, they behave like a ball again. When people climb the steps up the hill, the droplets near the step receive energy and break apart.

teamLab, Flutter of Butterflies from the Caterpillar House (c) teamLab - Caterpillars born from the Rapidly Rotating Bouncing Spheres in the Caterpillar House, emerge and transform into butterflies which gather into groups. When people touch the butterflies, they scatter and die.

teamLab, A Table where Little People Live (c) teamLab - This is a table where little people live. If you put something, such as your hand, on top of the table, the little people will jump on to it. Depending on the shape of the objects you place on the table, the little people will slide, jump, or climb.

teamLab, A Musical Wall where Little People Live (c) teamLab - This is a musical wall where little people live. When stamps of various shapes such as mushrooms, sheep barns, or long sticks of ice are attached to the wall, these objects appear in the world of the little people. The little people notice these and start jumping onto them.

Photo

teamLab, A Window to the Universe where Little People Live (c) teamLab - This is a window into the universe where little people live. You can create a picture by drawing lines with a light pen or creating shapes with a light stamp. Each line has a special power depending on its color, and influences the little people’s world. The shapes created by the light stamps appear in the little people’s world and start to move.

teamLab, Autonomous Abstraction (c) teamLab - The dots of light blink and change color in cycles unique to each dot. A spontaneous order phenomenon occurs between dots that are close to each other, and their hues and the rhythm at which they blink gradually synchronize.

Photo

teamLab, Existence in the Flow Creates Vortices (c) teamLab - Vortices are created behind people as they climb against the flow. Although a vortex is steady, it is constantly moving and swelling like a powerful life-form.

Photo

teamLab, Reversible Rotation in the Black Emptiness (c) teamLab - In Black Emptiness, because it is empty, infinite possibilities open up where anything can enter it. When you sit down, Spatial Calligraphy is drawn in front of you. The Spatial Calligraphy in this artwork space rotates in the same direction, but because of the characteristics of Ultrasubjective Space, visually, the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation are equivalent. Hence, the work can appear to be rotating in either direction depending on how the viewer chooses to see it.

teamLab, Nursery Lamps in Spontaneous Order (c) teamLab - The orchids from Floating Flower Garden whose flowers have fallen come to this space and are nurtured surrounded by lamps. Each lamp glows to its own rhythm. Over time, nearby lamps and Tea and Sake in Spontaneous Order cause a spontaneous order phenomenon, and they influence each other.

Photo

teamLab, Tea and Sake in Spontaneous Order (c) teamLab - When a cup of tea or sake is poured, the tea or sake begins to glow with its own unique rhythm and produce a tone. A spontaneous order phenomenon occurs between the teas, sake or the lamps of Nursery Lamps in Spontaneous Order that are close by. As they influence each other, gradually the rhythms of light and color of the teas or sake synchronize. You drink a part of that order.
