  Proliferating Immense Life – A Whole Year per Year

  This 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, 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]

  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 traditionalEast Asian art with contemporary scientific data, it illustrates the rising sea level over a period of 100 years, bringing to our attention the inevitable catastrophic change on the oceans, should urgent action not be taken.

  Transcending Boundaries artworks

  Comprised of six artworks, this immersive and interactive installation space explores the role of digital technology in transcending the physical and conceptual boundaries that exist 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.

  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.
