Proliferating Immense Life – A Whole Year per Year (New)
This new installation by teamLab depicts flowers that gently bloom and die in tune with the four seasons of the year, in real time. They bud, grow, and blossom, before their petals begin to wither and eventually fade away. The artwork is both generative, in that the flowers are created live algorithmically, and reactive, in that they respond to the presence of visitors, and subtly change, based on what they do. When touched, the flower petals scatter and disappear. But if visitors stay still, the flowers grow and bloom more abundantly. -
100 Years Sea [running time: 100 Years] (New)
This video work depicts the raising sea levels brought by climate change. It is based on scientific data derived from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), which predicts the raising of the world's sea levels over a century. By combining the elegance and beauty of traditional Japanese art with contemporary scientific data, it illustrates the rising sea level in real-time, bringing to our attention the inevitable catastrophic change on the oceans, should urgent action not be taken. -
Transcending Boundaries
Comprised of six artworks, this immersive and interactive installation space explores the role of digital technology in transcending the physical and conceptual boundaries that exists between the artworks as well as the viewer. The installation space is evocative of a natural environment rendered entirely digitally, with the imagery of one work breaking free of its frame and entering the space of another, dissolving literal boundaries. -
Sliding through the Fruit Field
A playful and colourful interactive artwork designed for children that is projected onto a slide.
Visitors become a beam of life-giving sunlight, and as they glide down the slope, their energy is transferred to the fruit field, causing flowers and fruit to blossom and grow. As the different elements interact in the field, new seeds are sown, leading to new life.
Please note, in light of safe management measures, this artwork will be available for viewing, but will be temporarily unavailable for public interaction.

Sketch Piston – Playing Music
Visitors can compose their own musical masterpiece in this interactive installation where different actions produce different sounds, letting you produce a symphony of joyous sounds.
Cooperate and inspire one another to create music and create a vibrant, animated and lively environment. -
A Table Where Little People Live
The little people are a community of miniature characters interacting with one another, paying little attention to the world outside.
However, when you place your hand or an object on the table, the little people will notice and jump onto it. Their actions change according to the shape and colour of the objects, becoming more animated as more objects are added to their world.

Inverted Globe, Giant Connecting Block Town

The installation begins by projecting moving cars, trains, planes and boats onto a large surface. Use the different giant blocks to design and connect an evolving system of roads, rivers and railways to keep the ever-increasing traffic flowing smoothly.

The Way of Birds (New)
This immersive and interactive installation explores the seemingly random and enigmatic movement of a flock of birds, leaving behind trails of light as they fly through the space. The synchronized movement of these birds, seems meaningless as they fly around without a leader nor following specific patterns.
This artwork is reactive – the flock of birds responds to the viewers’ presence as they fly away to avoid colliding with the people in the space; dissolving the boundaries between the artwork and viewer.
