Ephemeral Solidified Light

teamLab, 2023, Interactive Installation, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

Innumerable masses of light float in the air, each one composed of multiple colors. The boundaries of each color are clearly separated as though they are solid.
The seemingly solid color separation of the masses of light is not seen in the natural world, and is caused by extreme synchronization. Through self-organization over time, this synchronization phenomenon creates a large ordered structure.

When you touch a solidified light, you realize that the visible part is part of something that continues to flow without interruption.
Life is a phenomenon like crystals of ephemeral light, miraculously solidified into a continuum of energy that continues to flow without interruption from a past whose beginning is unknown.
