Wander, explore, and discover within a single world without boundaries teamLab Borderless is a “museum without a map” created from the art collective teamLab’s borderless artworks. Borderless art leaves its room, moves around, communicates with other works, influences them, and is influenced by them. There are no boundaries between the works, and sometimes they blend together. Through such a collection of works, a single world is seamlessly connected without borders. Immerse yourself bodily in borderless art, wander through a complex, three-dimensional 10,000 m² world, explore it with an intentional body, and create and discover new worlds together with others.

Wear the magic shoes (shoe-shaped devices), and when you step on the floor, a strange sound rings out, and colorful glowing creatures emerge from beneath your feet. These creatures move around, drawing the children’s interest. Guided by the creatures, the children chase after them and walk around in circles, and before they know it, they are stepping and dancing as if they were in a dance. The whole scene feels like a dance hall, making even those who watch it start moving their bodies naturally. Interactive installation to experience pitapat, created in 2018 Fantastic sounds and colourful creatures are born from children’s footsteps, creating the sensation of a living magical wonderland for players and spectators alike. The steps of the children chasing and playing with their creations turns into spontaneous dance, a viral rhythm that viewers can’t help but tap their feet to. By the same team that brought us Ratatap, a new interactive installation by Junichi Kanebako, Shinya Yoshida and Hiroki Inokuchi.

I wanted to create a work like a campfire. I loved the quiet space that arises when people gather around a campfire, even without exchanging words or glances. A campfire has no subject to empathize with, nor any information to catch. And yet, I wondered if the reason one can keep watching it forever lies in its “continuity.” This work presents several uneven, asynchronous images that together create a single space. I made each image feel seamless, though each may in fact be nothing more than a loop. Still, by placing multiple images side by side in a single space, I thought a continuity, resembling that of a campfire, might emerge.

Video installation featuring sixteen 85-inch large monitors arranged in a 16 m x 8 m gallery space. The looped video on each monitor is paired with a different sound and chord, and as the visuals and audio played at their respective cycles mix together in the large gallery space, they create a one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
