Universe of Water Particles on a Rock where People Gather
The waterfall that pours onto The Rock where People Gather continues to transform, influenced by the presence of the rock and the people within the space, along with the artworks that enter the space. The flow of water itself, will also influence the artworks that enter the space. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.
The Rock where People Gather was created by reproducing the artwork in a three-dimensional space. Water was then simulated to fall onto the rock, to depict the movement of water on the rock’s surface. The water is represented by a continuum of countless water particles, and the trajectories of the particles are then calculated. Lines are drawn in the space according to the movement of the water particles. Because the lines are then flattened using what teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space, unlike images that are flattened by lenses and perspective, a person’s viewpoint is not fixed and their body is free to move. The walls and floor on which the waterfall is depicted do not become a boundary between people and the work, and the space of the waterfall artwork is continuous with the space in which people's bodies are located.
