Sketch Factory

A Factory where the fish drawn in Sketch Ocean at teamLab Borderless, Tokyo, can be made into an original item (tin badge, hand towel, T-shirt, or tote bag) and taken home.
Make an order at the Sketch Factory and the fish that you draw will appear and come to life. Once production begins, the fish will disappear into the printer and turn into a tin badge, hand towel, T-shirt, or tote bag.

Sketch Factory

Turn your own drawing into an item to take home with you.
The fish you draw and bring to life in Sketch Ocean will be made into an original product such as a badge, hand towel, T-shirt, or tote bag.

Make an order at the Sketch Factory with your fish drawing from Sketch Ocean, and the fish that you draw will appear inside the Sketch Factory and begin to move about. When the fish enters the printer production will begin and it will turn into a tin badge, hand towel, T-shirt, or tote bag.
The Solidified Sparks artwork inside the Sketch Factory blinks randomly, but while an item is being made, the way it shines will transform.

Artwork

Solidified Sparks

*Location: Inside Sketch FactoryWe do not perceive the world we see, we see the world we perceive.
Spheres made of accumulated rays of light.The light radiates from the center in infinite fine rays, creating its spherical shape. The light source remains motionless, yet the countless lines emitting from it wriggle continuously.
The spheres have no surface boundary, and the perception of the boundary between the artwork and the body is ambiguous. When you try to touch a sphere, your hand goes into the sphere as it does not have a physical boundary. 
What is this sphere? Why do the rays of lines wriggle?Our world is within us.
And if we perceive these spheres made of accumulated lines, the world we perceive will expand, and we may see the spheres of accumulated lines in our daily lives. As the world you perceive changes, the way you see the world goes on to change.

ARTIST

teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

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 perceptions 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.

teamLab exhibitions have been held in cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne among others. teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, and teamLab SuperNature Macao, with more to open in cities including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; 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.
