teamLab

Simone Chung: To begin, please tell the readers a bit about yourselves and how you ended up working in teamLab. Takashi Kudo: My name is Takashi Kudo and I am from teamLab. Actually, I don't have a title on my business card. If you need some sort of designation then I would be the Communications Director - like a spokesperson, in charge of 'branding' from the communications aspect as well as projects in their initial stages that are yet to be defined.

Exclusive interview with teamLab: Reflect on Beauty (4)

We want people to be involved with the world. As much as possible, we want to re-think the boundary between the world and oneself. Living in the city, you feel as if there is a border between yourself and the world, but the world really is meant for us to be involved with. It may be just a bit, but the world is something that changes due to your existence. We believe that there is a borderless, continuous relationship between us and the world. (Excerpt from the text)

THE IMAGINATIVE ADVENTURES OF ANNO

“We dissolve the boundaries between the artworks. They transcend, relate and intermix. By experiencing that, you might think that everything in this world may be borderless, and that the world without boundaries is beautiful … Our intention is to change people’s standard of beauty, even if it requires a great deal of time.”(Excerpt from the text)

Existence is beauty, your existence is beautiful – Through the vision & words of teamLab

It’s since 2018 that we hear the word “immersive” used to describe 2 out of 3 design installations. There is nothing wrong with striving for great results, but there is everything wrong in abusing a term to the point that it gets so diluted to lose meaning and become so waterish that you can finally immerse yourself into it. But ahead of many followers, there is always a great leader (or at least it should be): teamLab is definitely leading the way in defining the essence of immersive art installations completed with deep reflections on human nature.

Light years ahead

In the Japanese language, there is an expression called 花鳥風月 (kacho-fugetsu). It is a four-character idiom in which each kanji character represents separately a flower, bird, the wind, and moon or - together - a beautiful and vivid natural landscape. For a long time, Japanese paintings have depicted blooming flowers and and rolling hills that change their expression throughout the four seasons, as well as animals in their natural habitat.

Breaking the Mold

It has always been Toshiyuki Inoko's aim to “explore what the world is for humans”. This, of course, is through the glorious technicolour digital playgrounds of teamLab: a collective of artists and engineers founded by Inoko some 20 years ago. If you haven’t been living in a cave for the last two decades, you will have seen their work: immersive colourful oceans where you draw a fish on a piece of paper and, minutes later, see it swimming through the coral reefs around you; rooms infinitely lit with a million floating lanterns without walls, ceilings; or, seemingly, a floor, a playful forest full of coloured branches to climb through, and so much more.
