For the last several years, digital art collective teamLab has staged impressive installations all around Japan and abroad, with fans lining up for hours to experience the limited-time digital projections that are often as interactive as they are colourful.
Now, teamLab is getting their own museum of digital art thanks to a collaboration with real estate company Mori Building.
In June 2018, the Mori Building Digital Art Museum will open in Tokyo’s Odaiba district. A 10,000-square-meter (107,640-square-feet) space will be filled with roughly 40 artworks controlled by 520 computers and 470 projectors.
The artworks, some which have never been seen before, will blend together throughout the massive space, breaking down the borders between both installations and visitors.
The museum’s roughly 10,000-square-meter floor space will be divided into five areas, with about 40 works on display. The glass lamp exhibit will be featured in the “Forest of Resonating Lamps,” one of the five areas. We want to create a highly experimental venue in Tokyo, where we’re based, that looks groundbreaking to the rest of the world,” said teamLab head Toshiyuki Inoko.
Admission is ¥3,200 for adults, high school and university students and ¥1,000 for 4-year-olds to junior high school students.
