Two New Artworks of Flame Debut at teamLab Planets in Toyosu, Tokyo Starting April 7 Seasonal artworks with blooming cherry blossoms are also on view for a limited time this spring until April 30.
Two new artworks of flame will debut at teamLab Planets in Toyosu, Tokyo. Universe of Fire Particles Falling from the Sky and Universe of Fire Particles will be on view starting April 7. Flame, a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion, is expressed as a collection of lines drawn by the movement of molecules of burning gas. In addition, artworks in the museum will change with the seasons, filling the space with cherry blossoms this spring until April 30. The vibrant pink flowers bloom all across a massive domed space, and in an artwork where visitors walk barefoot through real water, cherry blossom petals dance on the infinite expanse of the water’s surface. teamLab Planets is a museum where visitors walk through water. It consists of four vast exhibition spaces containing artworks both indoors and outdoors, for a total of eight works. Since opening in July of 2018, the museum has welcomed over 2 million visitors.
The new artwork Universe of Fire Particles Falling from the Sky is a public work that will be displayed outside the museum starting April 7. It can be viewed by anyone, regardless of whether they have a museum ticket or not.
In addition, the seasonal works transform into springtime spaces with cherry blossoms until April 30.
Cherry blossoms bloom across a massive domed artwork space. And in the artwork where visitors walk barefoot through real water, koi swimming on the surface of the water collide with people and turn into cherry blossoms that scatter and fade away.

[New Artworks] Universe of Fire Particles Falling From the Sky teamLab, 2021, Interactive Digital Installation, W6000mm D6000mm H15000mm, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

Flames are a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion, not a substance, but our sensory experience when we see a chemical reaction called combustion. People perceive the flame, a sensory experience, as if it were an object, and sometimes feel life in it.
The flames are represented as a continuum of numerous fire particles. The interaction between the particles is calculated, and lines are drawn in relation to the behavior of the fire particles. The lines are “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be ultrasubjective space.
When people stand on the work, a black absolute presence is created, and the shape of the flames change. The work is affected by people, and is in a state of perpetual, continuous change.

[About teamLab] teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. teamLab aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new perceptions through art. In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perception of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity. teamLab has been the subject of numerous exhibitions at venues worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, Taipei, and Melbourne among others. The permanent museums teamLab Borderless opened in Odaiba, Tokyo in June 2018, and teamLab Borderless Shanghai in Huangpu District, Shanghai in November 2019. The massive body immersive space teamLab Planets in Toyosu, Tokyo is on view until the end of 2022. The large-scale permanent exhibition teamLab SuperNature soft opened in Macao in June, 2020. teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Amos Rex, Helsinki. teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary, and Ikkan Art International. teamLab: https://www.teamlab.art/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/teamlab/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teamLab.inc Twitter: https://twitter.com/teamLab_net YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/teamLabART
