Flowers Bloom on People in Teamlab’s New Show

You can always count on Japanese ultra-technologists, Teamlab to deliver a mind-blowing experience. They’re experts in using technology with lights (or even flowers) in giving its users an immersive show. Who could forget Crystal Universe or Floating Flower Garden?

Soon they’ll be at Pace London to present Transcending Boundaries. Here’s what it’s all about:

“Without people this installation is a dark space. When people enter the room the flowers blossom on the people and before long the flowers spread out below their feet. When those flowers come close to another person they spread in that direction and connect.

“The flowers bud, grow, and blossom before their petals begin to wither, and eventually fade away. The cycle of growth and decay repeats itself in perpetuity. When the viewer is still, more flowers are born and simultaneously bloom. When the viewer moves the flowers begin to wither, die and fade away.

“This artwork is in continuous change, neither a pre-recorded animation nor on loop, the work is rendered in real time by a computer program. The interaction between the viewer and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork; previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur.”

Wish I could be in London to see this!
