TeamLab: Life experience in South Korea
Hi guys! I had visit TeamLab: Life, in Korea at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (동대문디자인플라자). The exhibition is only on until April so don't miss this beautiful art and nature installation while it's on.
Visiting TeamLab felt like a dream. The whole exhibit screamed magic, from the lights to the music. In this post, I will walk you through the TeamLab: Life experience. Let’s be honest, we are all here to take some fresh shots for the instagram, right? lol
It was super convenient because after you booked online, all you need to do is just print out the ticket and redeem at the counter.

TeamLab: Life

The entrance
The artworks in teamLab: LIFE invite you to return to nature, visitors of the exhibit appear to be preoccupied with something else entirely.
Beating Earth
The three-dimensional terrain with varying elevations shifts and writhes, dividing visual and physical cognition of the space. The movements of people cause the ground to shift and move to an even greater extent.


Black Waves: Immersive Mass
This artwork has no beginning nor end, it consists of a single, continuous wave. People who enter the artwork are confronted by this wave mass, and before long, they are drawn in, becoming one with the artwork. They realize that what they perceive as the exterior of the mass is also the interior. The exterior and interior are two sides of the same unified whole, indivisible. They make up a single, seamless existence.
The movement of water is simulated in a computer-generated three-dimensional space. The wave is expressed as a continuous body after calculating the interactions of hundreds of thousands of particles. To visualize the wave, lines were drawn in relation to the movements of the particles. The wave created in 3-D space was then turned into an artwork in accordance with what teamLab refers to as ultrasubjective space.




Flowers and People, Cannot be Controlled but Live Together - Transcending Boundaries, A Whole Year per Hour.
This artwork is in continuous change, transcending the boundaries between itself and other works. Over a period of one hour, a year’s worth of seasonal flowers blossoms and scatters. Flowers are born, grow, bloom, and eventually scatter and die. The cycle of birth and death repeats itself in perpetuity. If people stay still, more flowers are born. If people touch the flowers and walk around the space, the flowers scatter all at once.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again. The water from the Universe of Water Particles artwork influences this work, causing the flowers to scatter.







Life Survives by the Power of Life II
The self and nature are indivisible. In other words, they appear to be distinct, but are actually a single, inseparable entity. The opposite of division is not unification, but the realization that existences that appear to be distinct are actually part of a single whole.
The character for life, 生 (saeng), is drawn in three-dimensional spatial calligraphy. Spatial Calligraphy is calligraphy drawn in space, a form of calligraphy that teamLab has been exploring since it was founded. The artwork reconstructs calligraphy in three dimensional space to express the depth, speed and power of the brush stroke, and that calligraphy is then flattened using the logical structure teamLab calls ultrasubjective space. The calligraphy shifts between two and three dimensions. We have given form to what we in the modern era consider to be life.

Continuous Life and Death at the Crossover of Eternity
As flowers continue to bloom and die in an eternal cycle, the flowers that bloom in the flow of time in nearby art spaces change. The world of the artwork becomes brighter with the sunrise where it is located, and it becomes darker as the sun sets. When people touch the flowers, the petals scatter. But if visitors stay still, the flowers grow and bloom more abundantly.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives II
Seasonal flowers bloom while slowly changing. Animals are born from those flowers. The flowers continue to bloom and die in an eternal cycle, forming the shapes of animals. When people touch the animals, the flower petals scatter. If people touch the animals too much, all of the flowers will scatter, and the animals will die and fade away.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Among the works, "Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives II," shows various animals, formed with seasonal flowers, running and flying. When the viewer touches an animal, the flower petals scatter and the animal fades away, suggesting the danger of human intervention on the ecosystem. "The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time," teamLab wrote on its website. "The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork."

Shifting Valley, Living Creatures of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives
Living creatures made of flowers live in a three-dimensional world. The flowers continue to bloom and die in an eternal cycle, forming the shapes of living creatures. Living things eat and are eaten by each other to create one shared ecosystem. If a creature eats other living things, its numbers will increase. On the other hand, if it does not eat enough, it will die. And if it is eaten by another creature, it will disappear. When people step on the creatures’ flowers, the petals will scatter. When people continuously step on a creature, too many flowers will fall, and the creature will die and disappear.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Proliferating Immense Life
The flowers’ cycle of growth repeats itself in perpetuity. When too many flowers grow, they scatter and fade all at once. When people touch them, the flower petals scatter and fall away. The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.










Universe of Water Particles, Transcending Boundaries
Water is represented by a continuum of numerous water particles. The interaction between the particles is calculated, and then lines are drawn in relation to the behavior of the water particles. The lines are “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be ultrasubjective space. When a person stands on the waterfall, they obstruct the flow of water like a rock, and the flow of water changes. The flow of water continues to transform due to the interaction of people. Previous visual states can never be replicated and will never reoccur. The flow of the waterfall influences other artworks.



Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders, Life Born on the Other Side
A flutter of butterflies. As people pass through the space on the other side of the glass, outside of the exhibition, butterflies are born from beneath their feet. The flutter of butterflies dance in the space, transcend the boundary created by the glass, and enter the exhibition. When people touch them, the butterflies die. When no one is on the other side of the glass, the space is completely dark and nothing exists.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.




My outfit of the day:
Jacket: Uniqlo
Bag: Tomnzy
Jeans: Levis
Shoes: Dynafit
I always like to choose comfy outfits during my trip. T-shirt+ jacket + jeans + sneaker. What a great combination! I don't like to wear shorts or tight outfits because it might make me feel uncomfortable while I'm moving.

Overall, I can't believe I got the opportunity to visit this place. Definitely worth to visit especially if you're a fan art. The exhibition at DDP in South Korea is a stunning display of interactive digital installations that will engage and mesmerise both kids and adults. It allows visitors to literally immerse themselves in a world of art that’s alive and constantly changing. This exhibition is only running until April so NOW is most definitely the time to head to the Dongdaemun Design Plaza!
Address:
Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) B2 Design Exhibition Hall, 281, Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul (서울시 중구 을지로 281)
How To Get There:
By Subway: Take exit 1 or 2 from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station. The exits will take you right to DDP where you can find the B2 level where the entrance to the Design Exhibition hall can be found.
Find more information here
Admission for adults: W20,000
That's all for today. I will try my best to blog about my another trip as soon as possible. Thanks for reading guys!
