The Tokyo-based art collectiveteamLabis bringing Abu Dhabi a new interactive multi-sensory experience.
The new experience is part of teamLabs concept calledEnvironmental Phenomena.
“A water garden filled with ovoids. When an ovoid is pushed by a person, it shines brightly and emits a sound tone as it rights itself. The ovoids around it also respond one after another, emitting the same light color and sound tone that continues to resonate out.” (Photo: © teamLab)
Unlike traditional art formsthink sculpture and paintingsthe collectives works dont exist independently from one another.
Rather, they are generated and sustained by their environment.
Existence will be freed from matter that has previously been responsible for its existence, teamLab explains.

Its boundaries are ambiguous and never-ending.
Viewers can break apart the artwork and the work will remain, albeit different.
But if not maintained by anyone, the artwork will disappear.

Butterflies emerge from peoples feet, or from the touch of their hands on the walls.
Floating lamps that resonate in spontaneous order with people.
“Autonomous abstraction. The dots of light blink and change color in cycles unique to each dot. A spontaneous order phenomenon occurs between dots that are close to each other, and their hues and the rhythm at which they blink gradually synchronize. When people touch them, the rhythm of the blinking hues change and are randomized, but the dots close to each other once again cause a spontaneous order phenomenon between them.” (Photo: © teamLab)

The space is a three-dimensional terrain with rises and falls.
Water levels shift over time, changing the form of the dry land.
People can enter the water and walk around.

“The movement of hundreds of thousands of birds is beautiful and mysterious, appearing like a single giant presence. The biological mechanism that causes the movement of a flock of birds remains a mystery, but there seems to be a structure of space and time because it’s recognized as a single entity. A universe of new form of space and time in which the constituent elements are separated in time and space, but can still be a powerful existence.” (Photo: © teamLab)
