Sketch Town

This city is a Smart Town of the future—created from pictures drawn by visitors.

Draw a picture on paper of whatever you'd like to add to the town: a car, a building, even a UFO or spaceship.
The picture you drew will then come to life inside the town, and a giant city will be created right before your eyes.

The town features renewable energy sources: hydroelectric, solar, wind, and forest-derived (biomass) energy generators.
By touching the town you can influence the weather, activating the various energy generating sources and prompting the town to grow and develop.
Touch a frog, for example, and rain will fall, generating power at the hydroelectric dam and causing the town to shine with light.

The town is built from the drawings everyone creates, and through the power of natural energy it becomes brighter and richer —teaching visitors and inspiring them to learn about natural energy and natural power sources.

Sketch Town Papercraft

Pictures drawn in Sketch Town can be turned into unique 3-D papercrafts, which children can take home. The process of creating 3-D objects helps children understand spatial perspective. This process also links the translation of the 2-D drawing into the 3-D object, breaking down the barriers between the digital and the physical. This activity involves problem solving skills and logical thinking, as children have to identify where to cut, fold, and glue.

What a Loving, and Beautiful World

When people stand near the characters, the worlds that the characters embody will appear, influencing one another to create a single world.
The elements that are born from the characters are placed at various positions within the space, and the physical influences and connections between them produce a single world. For example, when the wind blows, flowers and snow are physically fly away. Birds alight in trees, and butterflies are attracted to flowers. Just as in nature, what you see at this moment can never be seen again.

Sketch Piston

Your canvas is your world, when you draw a line, the line becomes part of the world, the characters in your world bounce and slide on the lines, or objects like balls bounce and resonate sounds.
Sketch Piston is an artists tool and web contents project that gives new value to the act of drawing and creates new enjoyment from the act of drawing. This is the concept we call, “New Value in Behavior”.
The concept of a user interface and game and tool contents being combined into a “Contents Interface” was behind the development of corporate sites and promotion site Sketch Piston interfaces by teamLab. Depending on the world drawn and created the characters in Sketch piston will jump or slide. Place a stamp on the canvas and it will start to move. For young children with great imagination, we have created a fantasy world, draw in this fantasy world and the imaginative possibilities are endless, the fantasy world they create starts to spring into action. It doesn’t matter if, as an adult your are no longer as imaginative as you were as a child, or that you are not so good at drawing pictures, through the process of drawing a line and starting the fantasy world in motion you can freely enjoy creating pictures and return to your childhood imaginative days – at least that’s what we would like. There is also a musical versions of Sketch Piston. Sounds are produced by drawing lines or balls bouncing. At the time of childhood, free from the constraints of adult knowledge, things around us, everything, was an instrument. When you become an adult we become constrained by knowledge, and we can wonder why we are not musically talented. We created sketch Piston to give back the chance for anyone to freely enjoy making sounds, the world which you draw and create becomes an instrument and the instrument makes music. Before the information society, design was about making high quality contents that could be appreciated. In the information society, however, all users can express themselves, the things that your friends have expressed become contents. Design in the information society has become a free form of expression. For us, design was t o make a tool that would enable the expression of a non professional user to make high quality contents.

ARTISTA

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.
