Spatial calligraphy is continuously written and recited aloud, spreading and echoing across the infinite space.

If you lie down or sit for a while, your body will eventually start to float and become one with the artwork universe.
Each word has a unique spoken sound. When people approach a word, the spoken sound also becomes closer.

Spatial calligraphy is calligraphy drawn in space, a form of calligraphy that teamLab has been exploring since it was founded. The artwork reconstructs calligraphy in three dimensional space to express the depth, speed and power of the brush stroke, and that calligraphy is then flattened using the logical structure teamLab calls ultrasubjective space. The calligraphy shifts between two and three dimensions.
