Resonating Forest and Sculpture

teamLab, 2017, Interactive Digitized Nature, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

The trees and sculpture on the lakeside forest are lit up brightly. The light of the trees and the sculpture are autonomous, they shine brightly and disappear as if slowly breathing.

When people pass by or approach the trees and sculpture, the color of the light changes and the new color resonates out. The light of that tree or sculpture then radiates out and is transmitted to nearby trees. The resonating light of the trees or sculpture will again be passed on, and the color will continue to resonate to the nearby trees and sculpture.

When a light resonates from deep within the forest, it signifies the presence of people. Perhaps people will become more aware of the existence of other people in the space they share.
