Description: "The digital collective teamLab, founded in Tokyo in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko, addresses the line between art and experience. This group-comprised of more than four hundred people including programmers, designers, and animators-creates immersive digital experiences outside the realm of the traditional art world, navigating the confluence of art, technology, design, and the natural world. In many cases, it roots its imagery in historical Japanese art but uses the visual language of high-tech rendering and animation. Over the past few years, teamLab's projects have kept pace with technology and have evolved from two-dimensional screen-based animations to room-sized interactive installations. This book collects essays, interviews, and photographs exploring both the presence of teamLab's installations and the ideas and processes behind them"--
