teamlab at Pace, Beijing
teamlab's immersive site-specific installation at Pace Beijing was a breathtaking display of nature and interactive technologies. The collaborative group presented 15 projects in the exhibition "Living Digital Forest and Future Park". Flower Forest: Lost, Immersed and Reborn responds to the viewer, growing and clustering around you as you move through the space. Crows are Chased... was an operatic arrangement of sound and visuals as the drawings and gestures unfolded on the walls, floor and ceiling around you in a closed room. Future Park was designed for children, although adults were also absorbed in play tables in which you moved small objects, created clouds, rain, railroad, tracks and swiped a cow to people on the other side of the table. The entire show was a selfie magnet but even that couldn't take away from the rush of joy each room delivered.
