The environment creates phenomena, which creates the artworks. Immerse yourself in these new artworks and become one with the environment.

The artworks in teamLab Phenomena do not exist independently but are created by the environment which produces the various phenomena that creates the artworks.

Objects such as stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure independently. A stone, for instance, will remain unchanged even if placed in a sealed box, isolated from the outside world.
In contrast, a vortex in the ocean will vanish in an instant if removed from its environment. Unlike a stone, a vortex does not sustain itself; it evolves with the surrounding currents, formed by water flowing continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside of the vortex, changing along with the flow. Moreover, the boundaries of its existence are ambiguous, and there is no material distinction between the vortex and its surroundings.

The unique environment produces the phenomena, and the environment maintains the existence of the structure. Let us call that existence Environmental Phenomena. The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. This concept transcends the various conventional notions of existence by physical forms. Even if people immerse themselves physically into the artwork, the artwork will remain intact, capable of naturally restoring itself even if disrupted. However, when the environment is not sustained, the artwork will disappear. The boundaries of the artwork are ambiguous and continuous with the environment. Perhaps, people's consciousness will expand from the artwork itself to the environment beyond.

Dry Area

Morphing Continuum

Even if individual elements are separated in space and time, when a structural order appears among them, the elements transcend space and time and form a single entity. Despite significant changes in shape or size on the surface, or even if all of the elements are replaced, the single existence will be maintained. This spatiotemporal existence is part of the whole, it appears from the whole, and is returned to it. It is a living universe - a biocosmos.
Sculptural existence is born in space. It takes form on the ground as a mass and rises from the ground. Existence is born in the air, transcending the very concept of mass, and continues to exist mid-air, maintained in place. The boundaries of these existences are ambiguous, and the glowing spheres that compose them are continuously changing. Even when people fully immerse themselves in this sculpture, its existence remains intact. If broken by people, it naturally restores itself. Even if people try to move or push this floating entity, they cannot do so. Physical human actions cannot move the sculpture. 
Rather than a solid object, this sculptural entity is created by the order of energy generated by the phenomena of a unique environment. Let us call this existence High Order Sculpture. The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. It transcends the conventional notions of physical objects—it sustains its existence mid-air, having ambiguous boundaries, and it is able to maintain its shape even when people immerse themselves physically into the sculpture, naturally restoring itself even if the sculpture breaks.

Spontaneous Order in Chaos

The strokes of color in this artwork do not have an overall focus; there is no guidance and no external influence. Through simple, localized interactions between color strokes and people, spontaneous order continuously emerges on its own, even as everything moves toward disorder.
Even if individual strokes are distant in space and time, when spontaneous orders appear, individual elements transcend space and time and form a single entity. Despite significant changes in shape or size on the surface, or even if the individual elements are replaced, the single existence will be maintained.This spatiotemporal existence is a part of the sea of disorder, it is swallowed by the sea, and yet continues to emerge from the disorder.Order and disorder, existence and the whole, continuously flow into one another without boundaries, as they rise and fall, collide and merge.
Images created by camera lenses and perspective represent the illusion of space, depicting a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane. In this illusion, the three-dimensional space appears beyond the two-dimensional surface, and the viewers are in a different space from the three-dimensional space, making the two-dimensional plane a boundary. With this, the viewpoint is fixed, and the viewer’s body is absent. In contrast, this artwork does not create an illusion of space. Instead, the space of the artwork directly exists in the same space as the viewer's body. Walls and floors do not act as a boundary between the person and the space of the artwork, but rather, the space of the artwork integrates with the space in which the viewer's body exists. The viewpoint is not fixed, and their body remains free.

Graffiti Nature and Beating Earth

Graffiti Nature is an ecosystem of creatures drawn by people.
Color in a creature on the paper provided, and see the picture you have drawn come to life and move in front of you.Living things eat and and are eaten by other living things in one shared ecosystem. The creatures you draw will multiply if they eat other living things, but they will die and disappear if they do not eat enough, or if they are eaten by other creatures.
The crocodiles eat the snakes, the snakes eat the lizards, the lizards eat the frogs, and the frogs eat the butterflies, each one propagating as a result. Likewise, the butterflies multiply in places where flowers grow. Although flowers will bloom if people stay still, their petals will scatter if people walk around and step on them. The crocodiles will die if people step on them too much. Living creatures spread throughout the world, increasing and decreasing in number. The creatures you have drawn may be increasing somewhere.
Beating Earth is this artwork space. In a complex, three-dimensional space, perception based on common sense is separated from perception based on the body, and the space appears to move.
At times, the waterfall that flows down becomes Sketch Waterfall Droplets. This waterfall is made up of the droplets that everyone has drawn.Freely color in a droplet on the paper provided. Your drawing will then turn into droplets that flow along the terrain. Eventually, they will mix with droplets drawn by other people in the waterfall.A single droplet bounces off like a ball, but when there are many of them together, they behave like water. When the droplets break apart, they start behaving like balls again.A single water molecule does not become liquid. In order to become liquid water, many water molecules need to gather together.Water molecules act like magnets, so they connect with each other and form clusters of water molecules (water clusters). Water clusters have an extremely short lifespan and are thought to be constantly being created and destroyed. In other words, they have a very dynamic structure. This allows water to change into various shapes.Most objects and living things in this world have properties as a whole that are more than the simple sum of the properties of their parts.

Water Area

Massless Amorphous Sculpture

The only material substances present in this space are ordinary soap, water, and air. The bubbles are soap bubbles.
This floating, immense sculpture emerges from a sea of bubbles, transcending the very concept of mass. It neither sinks to the ground nor rises completely to the ceiling, but instead drifts in the middle of the space. The contours of its existence are ambiguous—it fragments into smaller pieces, but merges into a larger mass. Even when people fully immerse themselves in this sculpture, its existence remains intact. If broken by people, it naturally restores itself. However, when the sculpture is destroyed beyond what it can repair, it collapses, unable to recover. Even if people try to move or push this floating sculpture, they cannot do so, and if they stir up wind, the sculpture disperses entirely. Physical human actions cannot move the sculpture.
Objects such as stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure independently. A stone, for instance, will remain unchanged even if placed in a sealed box, isolated from the outside world.In contrast, a vortex in the ocean will vanish in an instant if removed from its environment. Unlike a stone, a vortex does not sustain itself; it evolves with the surrounding currents, formed by water flowing continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside of the vortex, changing along with the flow. Moreover, the boundaries of its existence are ambiguous, and there is no material distinction between the vortex and its surroundings.
Rather than a solid object, this sculpture is created by the order of energy generated by the phenomena of a unique environment. Let us call this existence created by the order of energy, a High Order Sculpture. The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. It transcends the conventional notions of physical objects—it sustains its existence mid-air, having ambiguous boundaries, and it is able to maintain its shape even when people immerse themselves physically into the sculpture, naturally restoring itself even if the sculpture breaks.
By filling the space with soap bubbles, a distinct environment is created in which an order of energy is born. By doing so, a massive form emerges from this sea of bubbles that floats steadily in mid-air.

Lamp Tea House

A tea house surrounded by water and floating lamps.

When a cup of tea is made, a work of art is born. The tea as a whole does not change color, but the colors, which have a temporal structure, change within it.

The tea interacts with nearby tea and lamps, creating a temporal structure throughout the entire artwork space. You drink a part of that order.

Entrance

Sur teamLab
teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception. In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity. teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Amos Rex, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum, New York, among others. teamlab.art Biographical Documents teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary and Ikkan Art.
