Garden of Unearthly Delights - teamLab interview

Garden of Unearthly Delights: Works by Ikeda, Tenmyouya & teamLab
Friday, October 10 — Sunday, January 11
In 2001, a handful of creatively minded young technologists came together around the leading visionary Toshiyuki Inoko (b. 1977) in Tokyo to form the collective teamLab. A self-proclaimed “ultra technologist group,” it is, figuratively speaking, an experimental incubation laboratory for new ideas and expressions. teamLab now has grown to encompass over 300 members from varying cultural backgrounds and training ranging from art, design, and architecture to computer engineering, mathematics, and more. Its creative forte is in extremely sophisticated digital media work that can be flexibly presented via computers, high definition monitors, and projections according to available space. teamLab utilizes and frequently invents new computer technologies as a method of its creative means.
teamLab has been invited to participate in many international exhibitions and art festivals including: Singapore Biennale 2013: If the World Changed, Singapore (2013); Distilling Senses: A Journey Through Art and Technology in Asian Contemporary Art, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong, China (2013); The Japan Media Arts Festival, Aichi Prefecture (organized by The Agency of Cultural Affairs), Japan (2014); and Takamatsu Media Art Festival, Takamatsu City Museum of Art, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan (2014). Japan Society Gallery’s 2014 exhibition Garden of Unearthly Delights is teamLab’s US museum debut.
