Young people became teamLab’s biggest fans, but the art world ignored them. In the group’s early days, their artworks were small, consisting of a few horizontal monitors that people could view while walking. TeamLab has been pushing to change these human values and contribute to “societal progress” since 2001, when Toshiyuki Inoko founded the group after graduating from the University of Tokyo’s Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics.

Standing in this space, we’re bathed in flowers and butterflies and light - we become part of the artwork that we’re all experiencing together. You may even feel connected to the people wandering around in the darkness with you. If you notice a school of fish swimming at your feet, that’s teamLab’s technology responding to your presence.
“TeamLab: Continuity” may be the closest we humans will ever get to flying like a bird, or blooming like a flower. The experience pours over you as you walk through the rooms with a changing digital projection that museum staff say takes about 45 minutes to run through a complete cycle.
In one of the rooms, people sit around the edges of the space, silently watching an intense, two-dimensional flight of crows across the heavens.
Adults clutch their phones - snapping and posing for photos, taking videos - trying to capture the incredible floating sensation of the exhibition in some static way. Kids have the right idea: They wander through the rooms, touching the walls and running around in circles as the imagery spins all around them. Whoops!
