The immersive art installation 'Biovortex' in Kyoto, Japan, created by the renowned teamLab collective, dissolves the boundaries between observer and artwork, blending art, technology, and nature in a unique way.
Biovortex opened on the 7 October and is the largest permanent installation in the country by teamLab, an internationally acclaimed art collective known for its innovative digital art.
Spanning 10,000 square metres (107,639 square feet), the exhibition features more than 50 immersive digital artworks, attracting a wide range of visitors, from children to the elderly.
One of the standout installations, 'Morphing Continuum', features countless glowing spheres that float and reshape in response to visitors’ movements. The sculpture, which drifts in midair, blurs the lines between art and viewer, creating a sense of unity.
“Viewers become one with the sculpture, while the boundaries between themselves and artwork grow indistinct,” said teamLab founder Toshiyuki Inoko.
Visitors have been struck by the emotional and physical immersion of the experience.
Dimitri VanCorstanje, a 25-year-old tourist from the Netherlands, described it as "wonderful," saying, “It immersed me more than just with my eyes.”
Founded in 2001 by a group of artists, engineers, and architects, teamLab’s work has expanded beyond Japan, with exhibitions in cities like New York, Singapore, and Jeddah, drawing millions of visitors annually.
One of its permanent exhibits, teamLab Planets in Tokyo, set the Guinness World Record for the most visited museum dedicated to a single art group in 2023.
