In making things that combines science, technology, design and art, one of the IT companies most notable in Japan now for doing so is teamLab. “Learn! Amusement Park of the Future”, a project created by them for children, was held in various parts of Japan, garnering rave reviews. In this project, children are encouraged to move their bodies in front of the latest technology-leading device to experience the creation of an art space. Sketch Aquarium is one representative attraction of the project.Against the wall of a dim hall is an undersea world of swaying seaweeds and beautiful coral reef. Paper drawings of sharks, jellyfish, and squids, among others are prepared for them to use crayons to colour as they wish. By scanning their works, the creatures that they have just designed will start to appear in the sea on the wall, swimming around freely. The fish respond to touches and it is possible to make them change their swimming direction and feed them. Besides the children, the accompanying adults also become engrossed, colouring the fish themselves, pointing to them and teaching after they are scanned in, enjoying each other’s works, and so forth, making the scene bustle with life. A never before seen virtual aquarium filled with colourful fish swimming has finally appeared.

I covered the 2014 edition of the Fuorisalone from top to bottom, from the white smooth space to rough and dusty concrete or the space with soft LED reflections. Digital was competing with kids drawings, and memories were buried one after another by technology innovations. Past and present were mixing everywhere in the city. Nostalgia of the past and new challenges made this design week exciting.Here are 5 examples that are mixing both of these concept very well.Sketch AquariumTeamLab presented an aquarium in which fish drawn on paper by children swim freely, creating colorful shapes that then swim along with those drawn by other children in a large aquarium. Fish of the same shape create crowds, and when children come close to the aquarium they can also feed their fish.

“One of the pieces which stood out for me was by Japan’s collective teamLab. I liked how it merged technology and art and was so interactive.” The digital installation, Peace Can Be Realised Even Without Order, referenced primitive dance and indigenous festivals in Japan, a side of the country not known to outsiders.

As part of the Singapore Biennale 2013, a group of artists has created a maze filled with life-sized, three-dimensional, dancing holograms of people and animals, capable of reacting to a person’s presence.The interactive digital art installation, that’s inspired by an ancient festival known as the Awa Dance festival, features brightly-colored, translucent holograms of people in traditional Japanese clothes, dancing or playing musical instruments, next to imaginary and familiar animals. Teamlab, the group behind the installation, created special sensors for every character in the maze to enable them to interact with visitors.Called “peace can be realized even without order,” the installation features 56 characters in a dark gallery, that’s been outfitted with mirrors to give the illusion of the maze extending into eternity. The characters are able to sense when a visitor approaches them; the holographic people stop dancing or playing their instruments and give a bow while the rabbits, frogs and other animals may wave a hand or jump.The digital installation explores the idea of finding peace within the context of unordered connections. It has been on display at the Singapore Art Museum since Oct. 26th of last year, and runs until to Feb. 16.Check out a video of the dancing holograms belowSource: TeamLab via Designboom By Lakshmi Sandhana
