IMMERSIVE ART EXPERIENCE: THE TEAMLAB EXAMPLE

Masato Takeuchi

Catalyst – teamLab

Studied Media Art at the Graduate School of Tokyo University of the Arts, and joined teamLab upon graduation. Currently in charge of exhibition artworks, products and merchandise at teamLab. teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. teamLab aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new perceptions through art. In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perception of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity. teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Amos Rex, Helsinki; and Moco Museum, Amsterdam and Barcelona. teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary and Ikkan Art. https://www.teamlab.art/
