Galaxy & teamLab: Continuous Life and Death at the Now of Eternity
A showcase of the Galaxy brand that opened in Harajuku, Tokyo in March 2019.

Since 2022, Galaxy Harajuku has been collaborating with teamLab to offer an experiential center dedicated to engaging people with new discoveries in every visit, through transformative and unparalleled experiences that offer an insight into the future.

teamLab is an art collective that has been active since 2001. Through bodily perception, teamLab seeks to transcend the boundaries in our perceptions of the world and of the continuity of time.

Galaxy has also continued to revolutionize user experiences through cutting-edge technology. Since announcing the foldable smartphone in 2019 and creating a new innovative category, Galaxy aims to deliver a future of smartphones that defies conventional wisdom through its technological capabilities.

In 2026, Galaxy and teamLab will create a new artwork space.

The artworks that will be exhibited at Galaxy Harajuku are Continuous Life and Death at the Now of Eternity and Flow Reaches Far.

In Continuous Life and Death at the Now of Eternity, the flowers repeat the cycle of life and death in perpetuity. When people touch the flowers, the petals scatter, and when they stand still, more flowers begin to grow.

The flowers change in the flow of time. 

In Flow Reaches Far, when a person moves, a flow is born, and that flow creates an influence that extends far and wide. The movement of other people will likewise create a flow, coming together and creating a vortex. The vortices change along with the flow.

When people stop, or if people leave the space, the flow will eventually disappear and nothing will exist in the space. 

In a space where no two moments are ever the same, capture the ephemeral with Galaxy’s innovative technology and make it yours using Galaxy's innovative foldable smartphone, created with cutting-edge technology.

We will offer this new experience in 2026.

Continuous Life and Death at the Now of Eternity

The flowers repeat the cycle of life and death in perpetuity, and the places where they grow change. When people touch the flowers, the petals scatter, and when they stand still, more flowers begin to grow.The flowers change in the flow of time.
The world of the artwork changes with the real flow of time of its location. The artwork grows brighter as the sun rises and darker when the sun sets. 
The time experienced by the viewer’s body, the time of the location, and the time of the flower's repeating the cycle of life and death, all intersect and overlap, whilst remaining connected to the body, the place, and the world of the artwork. In the artwork space different times and spaces overlap.

Flow Reaches Far

When a person moves, a flow is born, and that flow creates an influence that extends far and wide. The movement of other people will likewise create a flow, coming together and creating a vortex. The vortices change along with the flow.When people stop, or if people leave the space, the flow will eventually disappear and nothing will exist in the space.
The flow in the artwork is expressed as a continuum of particles, and lines are drawn in three-dimensional space according to the trajectories of those particles. The accumulation of lines that represent the work are then flattened according to what teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space.
It does not have its own predetermined sound; instead, it reconstructs and plays parts of the sound from surrounding works according to the state of this piece.

teamLab에 대해

아트 컬렉티브 teamLab은 2001년 활동을 시작했다. 국경을 넘어선 연대 속에 집단 창작의 방식으로 예술, 과학, 테크놀로지 그리고 자연계의 교차점을 학제적 접근으로 모색한다. 아티스트, 프로그래머, 엔지니어, CG 애니메이터, 수학자, 건축가 등 다양한 분야의 전문가들로 구성된 teamLab은 예술을 통해 인간과 자연, 개인과 세계의 새로운 관계를 탐구하고 표현한다.
 
teamLab은 우리에게 익숙한 모든 경계에 대해 질문한다. 인간은 각자를 둘러싼 바깥 세상을 감각 기관으로 인지해 스스로와 분리하고 낱낱을 경계지어 독립체로 구분하려 한다. 현대 문명은 그런 방식으로 세계를 이해해 왔다. teamLab은 예술을 통해 감각을 확장하고 개인과 세계의 경계, 시간의 연속성에 대한 인지의 경계를 넘어설 수 있다고 믿는다. 이 세계의 모든 것은 광대한 시간 속에, 생명의 끝없는 연속 안에 가까스로, 하지만 기적적으로 존재하고 있다.

teamLab의 작품은 시드니 뉴사우스웨일스 주립 미술관, 애들레이드 사우스오스트레일리아 미술관, 샌프란시스코 아시아 미술관, 뉴욕 아시아 소사이어티, 이스탄불 보루산 현대 미술관, 멜버른 빅토리아 국립 미술관, 헬싱키 아모렉스가 영구 소장하고 있다.
