The art collective teamLab is renowned for creating immersive digital art installations exploring themes of perception and consciousness. Based in Tokyo, teamLab’s artworks draw upon wide ranging experimentation with art created through digital technology. Central to teamLab’s work is their aim to explore the relationship between the self and the world and using technology in new ways to explore perception, with an emphasis on individualized perception in a collective experience. Founded in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko, teamLab has grown into an international collective comprised of hundreds of artists, scientists, computer programmers, mathematicians, and architects, among others.
teamLab: Everything Exists in Infinite Continuity is the first exhibition of teamLab in the Midwest and traces the collective’s artistic trajectory over the last twenty-five years. It presents some of teamLab’s most iconic artworks as well as new work made specifically for this exhibition. In doing so, it explores how teamLab has experimented with and expanded their use of digital technologies to create environments that blur the boundary between the viewer and the artwork.
