Description
teamLab, an international art collective, are world renowned for creating immersive environments through digital technology. Exploring the intersection of art, technology, science and natural worlds, in Hiroshima they’ve created an interactive ‘Future Park’ where audiences are encouraged to co-create and make drawings that are transformed into installations.  In Sao Paulo, they’ve filled rooms with eternal cycles of budding and blossoming flowers. Last year teamLab made their scenographic debut, confounding the boundaries between the stage and audience with a sculptural space of light in a Puccini opera at the Grand Théatre de Genève in Switzerland. Ahead of this opera opening in Japan, Takashi Kudo, teamLab’s Communications Director, joined me from their Tokyo studio to shed light on their process and ambitions.  Hosted on Acast.
