Charmaine Qiu – Looking Outwards – 01

During the summer, I visited an interactive exhibition in Shanghai called “teamLab: Universe of Water Particles in the Tank”. The exhibition showcased a section of Japan’s “teamLab Borderless” in Mori Museum. From the exhibition, I remembered being immersed in a space surrounded by digitally animated waterfalls and flowers, yet when the viewers physically make contact with the space, flowers would boom from the surface. 

The concept of “teamLab Borderless” was to display artworks that exist without boundaries, and that viewers are invited to interact and become part of the work. This could be inspired by interactive art installations like the rain room.

TeamLab is a collaborative group that consists of artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects; together, they create artworks that connects humans with nature by embracing digital technology.
