Continuity
"teamLab: Continuity" is a different approach to an art exhibition experience based on teamLab’s core concepts that the digital domain can expand art, and that within the digital domain, art can transcend both physical and conceptual boundaries. Instead of offering a selection of objects plucked from the world around us, presented in clusters or in sequence, it offers a world of dynamic artworks without distinct boundaries, and without a map. The interactive digital installations are neither a prerecorded animation nor on a loop-the work is rendered in real time. 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. Artworks fly beyond borders, expand, influence, and sometimes intermingle with each other.
Exhibitions have played many roles over past centuries, often looking at objects as ways of understanding the world around us. Royal collections assembled things of splendor and fascination. World’s fairs and expositions were organized to showcase modern technologies alongside art and culture. These modes of display incorporate power dynamics, as do the practices of today’s museums. The exclusivity of the curated subjects or objects, the rarefied nature of the experience, and the politics of who collects what and when are all still present in the exhibitions we attend today.
Contemporary museums often require visitors to balance their interest in attending the special event that is the temporary art exhibition, a fundamentally social event shared by both friends and strangers, with the desire to contemplate and examine art as a personal, if not solitary, experience. In "teamLab: Continuity", immersive works of art react to each other and to the people in the space, making the presence of others a fundamental and positive part of the experience. Explore with intention, discover, and create a new world with others.
