Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives II
teamLab, 2018, Interactive Digital Installation, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi
Animals that are born in the Forest of Flowers and People are made of the flowers of the forest. As the seasonal flowers slowly change, they bloom and die in an eternal cycle, continuously forming the shapes of animals.
When people touch the animals, the flower petals scatter. If people continue to touch the animals, all of the flowers will scatter, and the animals will die and fade away.
The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork: previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.
