There's a reason millions of visitors are obsessed with teamLab’s art exhibitions: where else can you spend an otherwise normal afternoon gazing into an infinity of crystal stars, chasing digital crows from room to room, or making flowers grow with the touch of a single, god-like finger?
TeamLab, an international collective of mathematicians, engineers and artists, emerged in 2001, gaining traction with an early staging by artist Takashi Murakami. Since then, the group, whose works aim to “navigate the confluence of art, science, technology and the natural world”, has expanded globally, with permanent and temporary exhibitions in Asia, Europe and the United States.
