Overview
teamLab Planets is a fully immersive, body-sensory digital art museum in Toyosu where visitors wade barefoot through water, walk through flower projections, and physically merge with the artworks.
Highlights
- Wading Installations: Visitors walk barefoot through knee-deep water filled with swimming digital koi fish that react to your movement.
- Infinity Mirror Rooms: Rooms filled with cascading flowers, floating crystals, and infinite reflections that dissolve the boundary between artwork and viewer.
- Physical Immersion: Unlike conventional museums, visitors physically enter, touch, and become part of every single installation.
History
Opened in 2018 as a temporary exhibition but became so phenomenally popular that it has been repeatedly extended. Created by teamLab, the Japanese digital art collective founded in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko.
