The large-scale installation will invite participants of all ages to immerse themselves in the multi-room environments spanning 20,000 square feet and showcasing 20 digital works. Several of the works on show - including "Light Sculpture of Flames" and "Black Waves in Infinity" - will enjoy their international debut while other works - including "Flowers and People, Cannot be Controlled but Live Together - A Whole Year per Hour" and "Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders" - will be shown in North America for the first time.
Participants will be encouraged to partake in this digital playground for all ages, to witness the visually morphing beauty of the 20 immersive works, to explore the associated pioneering and intellectual concepts of these technologists at work, as well as the mesmerizing innovative capabilities at play. These deeply interactive works are a powerful testament to the advancement of and growing interest in digital art as well as its unique ability to nurture creativity and curiosity through technology.
According to Marc Glimcher, "The teamLab exhibition is a momentous one for Paces newly formed Art + Technology program: the content and ambitious scale of the show, and teamLabs practice is emblematic of Paces longstanding commitment to experimentation and the growing nexus between art and technology. We are thrilled to showcase the collectives expansive body of work as the programs opener and spark a deeper conversation across all age groups."
Toshiyuki lnoko from teamLab says, "We are honored to share some of our most recently created artworks and hope the universality of their themes-creativity, play, exploration, immersion, life, and fluidity-will seep into the broader conscience. We are particularly excited to debut several of these works in Silicon Valley, one of the indisputable heartlands for innovation, bold thinking and risk-taking."
