Picture the scene: you’re colouring an animal drawn on a piece of paper. A few minutes later, the animal comes to life and wanders over the walls of the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris. This was the principle of the exhibition entitled teamLab: Beyond the Limits by the digital art collective teamLab, held from 15 May until 9 September 2018.
Animated art, immersion, and interaction
The teamLab collective is made up of artists, programmers, engineers, 3D animators, mathematicians, and architects. Their aim is to give the viewer an immersive, creative experience and make them forget they’re wearing a watch.
The spectacle was intriguing: the projected images started to move, the flowers bloomed, and the presence of people affected the flow of water. ‘The artworks too can move freely and form connections and relationships with people’, the collective explained on the exhibition’s website, ‘and have the same concept of time as the human body.’
