Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders, Transcending Space

teamLab, 2019, Digital Installation, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

This work is to be viewed from a position close to the entrance.


The artwork begins when the Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders, Ephemeral Life enters the space. If other works enter the space, the Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders, Ephemeral Life leaves.


If you stand at a position close to the entrance, the boundary between the wall and the floor disappears. Eventually, the body becomes immersed in the artwork world, and the border between the artwork and the viewer dissolves.


The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the artwork in real time. As a whole, it is continuously changing, and previous visual states are never replicated. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.
