Description: Clusters of spacetime stand in abundance, and each cluster connects with the spacetime of the others. Within the mass of darkness, they begin to burn, then return to darkness again and again. They affect the surrounding area. When people stand before the flames burning inside the clusters, a black, absolute presence appears. Flames are a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion; they are also vaporized or decomposed matter within a flow, and an experiential sensation we perceive when seeing the boundary between phenomenon and substance. People recognize flames, an experiential sensation, as though they were a single object, and sometimes feel life within them. By the flow of combusting gas in clusters of spacetime, lines are drawn in space, and flames are created from the three-dimensional aggregation of those lines, then flattened by teamLab’s concept of a “super subjective space,” and the flames are rendered. teamLab is exploring the concept of “Distributed Art.” When you approach the flames of the work with the 《Distributed Fire》 app, a flame lights up on your smartphone, and you can take the work home with you. When you bring that carried flame near another person’s smartphone, a flame will light up there as well. By connecting the flame to someone else, and then to someone else again, the flames spread throughout the world. The entire expanding cluster of flames is drawn on the Flame Map. In Distributed Art, some works replicate themselves, while others share part of themselves with people. A work that has been passed into people’s hands will again generate its own replicas, as people actively disperse it. The work exists in a distributed way across people’s networks, and will become a decentralized art form. When the work exists on the network, it continues to exist even if the original disappears.
