Romi Jin – Looking Outwards – 01

Japan’s first digital art museum, MORI Building Digital Art Museum by teamLab Borderless in Tokyo, combines human interaction with psychedelic wonder to fabricate an expansive, experiential exhibit. teamLab is a group of ultratechnologists who combine art, science, technology, design and the natural world through a team of designers, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects from all around the world. This team produced this museum of digital artworks, which are powered by approximately 520 computers and 470 projectors that completely immerse the viewer into the surrounding physical space. There are five different spaces and fifty interactive displays, including “Borderless World,” “En Tea House,” “Athletics Forest,” and “Forest of Resonating Lamps,” pictured below.

Technological art like this has inspired me to step into the world of technology and coding, working through a hybrid of mediums that interest me and that are changing the world at an exponential rate. To contribute to this progress would be life-changing, and I hope to do so one day!
