Abstract

teamLab (f. 2001) is an art collective, interdisciplinary group of ultratechnologists whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, design and the natural world. Various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects form teamLab.

teamLab, speaks about the theme of 'Relationships Among People', one of teamLab?fs concepts which aims to explore a new relationship between humans and nature, and between oneself and the world through art. Digital technology has allowed art to liberate itself from the physical and transcend boundaries. teamLab sees no boundary between humans and nature, and between oneself and the world; one is in the other and the other in one. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity of life.

Art Exhibition and Learn and Play! teamLab Future Park (2014) which has welcomed over 470,000 visitors; Expo Milano 2015 Japan Pavilion, Milan; as well as venues in Silicon Valley, London, Paris, Taipei, New York, China, and Singapore among others.
