Pointillism uses an accumulation of distinct dots of color to create a picture. Here, light points are used to create three-dimensional objects.

People use their smartphones to select stars to throw into the Crystal Universe. These stars are reborn in three dimensions, creating the artwork. The presence of people and their location within the work affect these three-dimensional stars, which in turn influence and are influenced by other stars in the space.
This artwork is forever evolving, changing from moment to moment due to the people in the space.

When no one is in the Butterfly House space, it is completely dark and nothing exists. When people enter the Butterfly House space, butterflies emerge from their bodies, and flutter from their feet to the floor. If people touch the butterflies they scatter.
The butterflies fly into the displays or out of the space, transcend the boundaries of other works, and fly into the other artworks. Then, when they enter another space they continue as a new artwork. The butterflies fly seamlessly between other works, blurring the boundaries between them.In the Borderless World, the butterflies are all created solely by the presence of people in the Butterfly House. If the number of butterflies that die when people touch them is more than the number people create, this artwork will cease to exist.When this artwork disappears, butterflies no longer enter the other spaces, and the artworks of butterflies in each space will no longer appear.

Flowers bud, bloom, and in the course of time, wither and die. While eternally repeating the process of life and death, the places where they grow change gradually. When people stand still, the flowers surrounding them grow and bloom abundantly, but when people touch the flowers or walk around, they scatter and die all at once.The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it continues to be rendered in real time under the influence of people's behavior. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.
In spring in the Kunisaki Peninsula, there are many cherry blossoms in the mountains and canola blossoms at their base. A visit to this region led teamLab to wonder how many of these flowers were planted by people and how many of them were native to the environment. It was a place overflowing with flowers, a place of great serenity and contentment. This nature is an ecosystem influenced by human activity, making us feel that nature and humanity are not in conflict. Perhaps a truly comforting nature is one that encompasses human presence as part of the ecosystem. Based on the premise that nature cannot be completely controlled, this artwork explores human activity that lives closely aligned to the rules of nature.
This artwork is an ecological pictorial space drawn through Ultrasubjective Space, which continues to be generated along with the body, others, time, and the environment. Viewers physically walk around and touch inside the world of the artwork, transforming it together with others in the same space.
This pictorial space differs from images or paintings flattened by a lens or single-point perspective. In such images or paintings, space appears behind the picture plane; the space that opens there and the space the viewer inhabits are split, and the picture plane becomes a boundary surface. The viewpoint is fixed at a single point, and bodily freedom is lost.On the other hand, a picture plane formed by Ultrasubjective Space is not a boundary that separates where we are from the world of the artwork. The world of the artwork is not outside a window; it appears as a single field that is continuously connected, without boundary, to the space in which the viewer’s body exists. Moreover, any position — front, back, left, or right — can become a viewpoint, so viewpoints exist in infinite number, and the viewer is physically free to move.Not bound to a single point, the viewer moves their body and lets their eyes roam freely, continually re-composing the world of the artwork as it changes over time, and building the pictorial space within themselves. In that moment, the artwork becomes a centerless, subjective, and embodied pictorial space in which the viewer walks and touches.
In this space, the boundaries between the viewer and the artwork become ambiguous. The artwork transforms simply by the presence of a body there, and the behavior of others also changes the world of the artwork. In conventional art, other people were often considered an obstacle that interferes with a one-on-one relationship with the artwork. However, here, the presence of others enriches and creates new changes in the artwork.
This artwork is an attempt to expand painting from a world on the other side of the screen into a space continuous with the body, others, time, and the environment. The artwork continues to be generated within the relationships among the behavior of people, the life and death of flowers, the passage of time, and the entire space. Here, the painting does not exist on its own as a completed entity; it relates to people's bodies and includes the presence of others, existing as an ecological field without boundaries.

Sketch Town is a town that grows and evolves according to the pictures drawn by children.

After the 2-D drawings of the cars, buildings, UFOs, and spaceships are completed, they are scanned, become 3-D and enter a virtual 3-D townscape. Every component of the town has a role to play; for example, the fire trucks and cranes serve to protect the town. Children can interact with the final townscape by touching individual components to alter their behavior.

La palla luminosa cambia suono e colore rotolando. Combinate, le palle luminose creano un’orchestra!
Le palle luminose in alto comunicano con quelle sul pavimento; quando una viene toccata le palle vicine sono influenzate, cambiando il colore dell’intero spazio.
Fai rotolare la palla luminosa di fronte a te; questa cambierà colore ed emetterà un suono. I partecipanti nello stesso spazio usano i loro corpi, interagendo con palle luminose di diverse dimensioni per cambiare il colore dello spazio e fare musica.

Graffiti Nature is created by you. The more animals and flowers that you draw and color in, the more the nature world expands.
Draw and color in flowers, butterflies and animals. Then see your drawings come to life and move around you! The natural world that you create begins to expand and spread out. Your drawing is somewhere in Graffiti Nature. Can you find it? If the animals sense you, they may run away. If you stay still, they may come closer.
The animals eat other animals, and are eaten. All are part of one ecosystem. If animals eat other animals their numbers increase. Small animals eat just a little for their numbers to increase, large animals eat a lot. Butterflies increase in places where there are flowers.
Stand still and flowers will blossom around you. Walk around and the flowers will scatter.
Search for the animals, chase after them, make the flowers bloom. Explore the teamLab World that everyone has created.

In Connecting! Train Block, cars and trains run along roads and railroad tracks that are connected by wooden blocks. As children place different blocks on the table, more cars and trains appear, forming a townscape. Children play by placing the blocks in different positions to create a town collaboratively with other children.
