teamLab: Digitized Kochi Castle

Nov 22, 2018 - Jan 06, 2019

Kochi Castle Kochi

Within Kochi Castle, there are many dark or unlit areas. Visitors are advised to wear clothes and footwear that are easy to move in for safety.

Kochi Castle was built over a period of about 10 years starting in 1601. Despite it being destroyed in a fire, it was rebuilt in the middle of the Edo period and restored to its original form. Kochi Castle is considered an important historical site in Japan, as it is the only castle where the castle tower and nearly all of the central structure remain intact.
This exhibition is a part of teamLab’s Digitized City art project. The concept behind the project is that non-material digital technology can turn a city into art without physically altering it.
Kochi Castle has stood from the Edo period to the present day and remains an important symbol for the city of Kochi. teamLab: Digitized Kochi Castle will transform the castle into an interactive digital art space that changes due to the presence of people. This in turn, enhances the presence of humans, and transforms the relationship between people in the same space with digital art.

ARTIST

teamLab

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

teamLab aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new perceptions through art. 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 perception 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 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, Helsinki.

teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary and Ikkan Art International.
