mymodernmet.com: Walking into one of teamLab‘s exhibitions is like entering another world. The international art collective recently unveiled three new installations, all of which explore the mesmerizing effects of light and color. Titled Bubble Universe: Physical Light, Bubbles of Light, Wobbling light, and Environmental Light; Flowers and People – Megalith Crystal Formation; and Black Waves – Megalith Crystal Formation, these seemingly boundless artworks are hosted at the teamLab Borderless museum in Azabudai Hills, Tokyo, Japan.

Wow this really looks like a magical piece of art. Right from the start it says it transforms the space. And I know installation art like this succeeds if you forget where you are. Something about moving spaces and experiencing something else is beautiful. The daintiness of the lights, while also being overwhelmed by them juxtaposes the space well. I wonder what it is like to walk through it. I also wonder what different peoples experiences are like within the space. Does it change with age and time? Are young people more entertained by the bubbly light space world, or can an older audince appreciate what it is and represents more. To me, it represents the largness of the world and the space time that surrounds our universe. The bubbles are connections between things and hold things that could be exposed to the world but are not yet. They can be popped but will not be.
The article showcasing the "Bubble Universe" installation by teamLab is a captivating exploration of immersive art. Installation pieces have a unique way of engaging audiences, and the description of this particular work sparks a sense of wonder. I’d compare the “Bubble Universe” installation to the LEAR Dramaturgy display (“Storm of Voices”) currently in the lobby. For one, it’s freaking amazing! However, drawing parallels between different installations highlights the universality of the impact of such art forms. The "Bubble Universe" installation, with its dynamic interplay of light and space, seems to evoke a similar enchantment to what the “Storm of Voices” display achieves. Both installations likely share the ability to transport viewers into a realm where art becomes an interactive and personal experience. These installations serve as reminders of the endless possibilities for creativity to captivate and inspire, offering a unique lens through which to view the performance– and in some cases, the world.
It is interesting to see the evolving definition of art and entertainment when I see installations like these. In the past couple of years, there has been a rise in “immersive” spaces- TeamLab being one of the few that have pioneered the kind of projection style, “immersive” spaces. I remember that when TeamLab came to give a guest talk last year, they talked about how projections were slowly being seen as a thing of the past and no longer the innovative spectacle it once was. I have been following TeamLab’s upcoming works to know the kind of work they put up thus far in order to “innovate”. While this installation is undoubtedly beautiful, I was shocked to see that Yayoi Kusama was not credited with this at all. We all know her arguably most famous work, “Infinity Mirrors”. There is no question about the aesthetic impact it has on the world. But it is interesting to see an undeniable copy of one of the first kinds of this style of immersive installations being presented with no credit to the original artist. I was admittedly disappointed for a company that was born from novelty and touts its innovation.
I found this article very interesting. I have always loved infinity rooms, especially one with the globes and lights. It is funny that this article should be posted now as it reminds me a lot of the work of Yayoi Kusama. She was assigned to me for my Guess Who Project in Basic Design 1. Kusama works mainly with infinity nets and rooms. Usually the rooms are filled with globes like the artwork. I personally have come to really enjoy Kusamas work and one of my favorite pieces of hers is actually the infinity zoom with hundreds of small lit up globe like beads. Even the photos of the piece are breathtaking. The way it is constructed it almost creates an infinite cityscape of lights. I find that the photos of this piece are also just awe inspiring. The concept of infinity rooms is really quite simple but to be immersed in them and feel the infinite possibilities no matter where you look the view will be different. It is just amazing to me.
WOW! Just Wow! This is incredible and unbelievable. Not only is it absolutely stunning in every sense of the word but it is also so purely mathematical and I love math. This immersive installation combines three of my all time favorite things: Light, Immersive Experiences, and Math! Anything that combines the three of those I am bound to love and sure enough I do! It is incredible and breathtaking and gorgeous. I have always wanted to go to Japan and if somehow I get there and this is still running then I will one hundred percent be trying to see it if I can because it is just absolutely stunning and surreal. The way that they have used light and the reflection and refraction of light to completely change each space is incredible and beautiful. They all seem like completely different worlds and that is so cool and I want to walk in those worlds.
