Light Sculpture - Flow
2016
The inside and outside of an ocean vortex are composed of the same water; there is no material difference between them. Yet, despite this, why do we perceive a vortex as a singular entity, or even sense a form of life within it?
The difference between the inside and outside of a vortex lies in the order, not the material. When order is born within a flow, existence emerges even without material difference or a material surface boundary.
In Light Sculpture - Flow, a sculpture is created when a continuous stream of light rays forms an order within the space.
The sculpture here differs from that of a physical object. It is created not by a material surface boundary, but by flow and order, continuously changing dynamically while being influenced by the presence and behavior of people. It is a spatial existence with an ambiguous boundary between the artwork and the body.
Light Sculpture - Flow is an attempt to expand sculpture from a fixed physical object into a spatial existence without a material surface boundary that is created by flow and order.
FEATURED WORKS
teamLab, 2016-, Installation, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi
The existence of an ocean vortex is made up of the same water, both inside and outside of it. Despite this, why do we feel a sense of existence, a sense of life, in the vortices of the ocean?
The difference between the inside and outside of an entity, such as a vortex lies in the order, not the material.
Even if the elements of an artwork are separated in space and time, when an order is formed within the parts, the individual elements are recognized as a single entity that transcends space and time. The artwork can even feel like a life form
A sculpture made of light that continues to flow outward. The flowing light gathers and creates order in the center, and a biocosmos appears.

Light Sculpture - Flow series.
Why do we sense an existence in ocean whirlpools, a sense of life, even though the water inside and outside the whirlpool is the same water?
Even if the components of the artwork continue to flow outward, when an order is formed in the parts, it feels like a single life form. Existence is created, not with material presence or absence, but with order.

The Light Sculpture that is born here in the Asymmetric Universe space is an asymmetrically different existence in the real space and the world inside the mirror, and travels between the real world and the world inside the mirror.

CONCEPT Light Sculpture - Line Lines of light reorganize the space and create three-dimensional objects as they converge, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in them. For a physical learning experience - dance and experience the art not with your mind, but with your body.
