About teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

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 perceptions 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's works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery ofVictoria,Melbourne;Art GalleryofNew South Wales,Sydney;Art GalleryofSouth Australia,Adelaide; National Gallery ofAustralia,Canberra;Amos Rex,Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art,Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum,San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection,Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum,New York, among others.
