Strokes of Life

This work consists of a 15m diameter circular lighted rink, and a cylinder at a height of 20m (D7m x H14m) that consists of a collection of light points.

When people stand on the rink, Spatial Calligraphy is drawn in three dimensions in the rink. As the calligraphy is drawn, it gives birth to life such as flowers, birds and butterflies. The flowers that bloom change throughout the year. Simultaneously the calligraphy appears in the cylinder as a three-dimensional light sculpture of brushstrokes.

teamLab has been working on the Spatial Calligraphy series since the collective was formed. Spatial Calligraphy is a new interpretation of traditional Japanese calligraphy reconstructed in three-dimensional space, expressing the depth, speed and power of the brushstroke.

The work is rendered in real time by a computer program, it is neither a prerecorded animation nor imagery on loop.The work as a whole is in constant change; previous states will never be repeated and can never be seen again.

Strokes of Life - Birthday / Anniversary / Marriage Proposal

This work consists of a 15m diameter circular lighted rink, and a cylinder at a height of 20m (D7m x H14m) that consists of a collection of light points.

When people stand on the rink, Spatial Calligraphy is created. As it is drawn in three dimensions in the rink, it turns into a message that has been sent from a visitor’s smartphone. The calligraphy that evolves gives birth to life. Simultaneously the same calligraphic message appears in the cylinder as a three-dimensional light sculpture of brushstrokes.

ABOUT US

teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an art collective, interdisciplinary group of ultratechnologists whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, design and the natural world. Various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects form teamLab.

teamLab aims to explore a new relationship between humans and nature, and between oneself and the world through art. Digital technology has allowed art to liberate itself from the physical and transcend boundaries. teamLab sees no boundary between humans and nature, and between oneself and the world; one is in the other and the other in one. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity of life.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Amos Rex of Helsinki, Finland.
