I went to the teamLab Borderless exhibition last year in Shanghai and was amazed by the project. The project wants to create a world that is connected by artworks and there are no boundaries for people to explore. It is a super immersive experience and all these artworks are fluid around in the place. I think the biggest inspiration for Teamlab’s project is nature. You can see from their works that there are so many natural elements.
I attended their lecture in school and learned that there are usually 10 – 15 people working together for one project. In a team, they usually have three main teams. The project management team who deliver the message from the client and push the project forward. The design teamwork on the concept and visual design. The last team is the engineering team that builds the project from concept to reality. For the Borderless project, it took them about 3 months to finish. The engineers use software like Unity, OpenGL, Processing those kinds of languages or software.
