Zones in teamLab Planets<\/h2>\n

Water Area<\/b><\/h2>\n

Imagine wading through ankle-deep water, where with every step that you take, vibrant digital projections swirl and dance around you, creating a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns. The beautiful part of this interactive artwork is – you are not an audience to it, your movement is what is sparking a symphony of changes.<\/p>\n

Exhibits in the Water Area include:<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"teamLabDrawing on the Water Surface created by the dance of Koi and People – Infinity<\/p>\n

Step into the water, filled with digital koi fish, swimming and reacting to your every move. With every ripple you create, the koi turn into (seasonal) flowers and scatter. A surreal experience which continues to be drawn in real time by a computer program.<\/p>\n

\"teamLabThe Infinite Crystal Universe<\/p>\n

A mind-dazzling experience created by the art technique \u2018pointillism\u2019, in which a collection of small, distinct dots are used to create a three-dimensional object. What\u2019s interesting about this experience is that it is ever-changing and is constantly being created by the people moving through it, using their smartphones.<\/p>\n

\"teamLabFloating in the Falling Universe of Flowers<\/p>\n

As you lay down, surrounded by a cascade of colorful flowers, gently drifting and swirling around you, you become one with your surroundings. The idea behind this artwork is that just as flowers are born, grow, bud bloom, and eventually scatter, wither, and die, so does your present moment. It\u2019s profound, it\u2019s unnerving and also gives you a sense of calmness that can\u2019t be explained but needs to be experienced.<\/p>\n

\"teamLabExpanding Three-dimensional Existence in Transforming Space – Flattening 3 Colors and 9 Blurred Colors:<\/p>\n

Step into an experience where boundaries blur and dimensions shift as you walk through a space filled with spheres of light, pushing through them. The sphere changes color to emit a tone unique to its color. This causes the nearby spheres to respond radially, turning into the same color and emitting the same tone. Immerse and enjoy yourself in the dynamic interplay of light and space.<\/p>\n

\"teamLabEphemeral Solidified Light<\/p>\n

Step onto a platform, surrounded by water, as you witness countless masses of light floating in the air. A mesmerizing dance between form and dissolution is how best to describe this experience in the Water Area; a metaphor to cherish every singular moment in this ephemeral world.<\/p>\n

\"quintaWaterfall of Light Particles at the Top of an Incline<\/p>\n

Witness thousands of particles of light cascading down an incline, seemingly like a waterfall, illuminating the surrounding darkness. The glowing particles are the effect of shining light on the waterfall (water particles).<\/p>\n

\"teamLabSoft Black Hole<\/p>\n

Step into a swirling vortex of darkness, which is soft and gentle, causing you to sink into the depths, making you more aware of your body. The idea behind this experience is that the modern world provides us with solid surfaces, which results in us forgetting our bodies. But walking through this forest of darkness, sinking and resurfacing, makes you realize that we are all just a mass of bodies.<\/p>\n

Garden Area<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019d like you to picture this: lush greenery, tranquil ponds, and vibrant blooms harmoniously coexist with cutting-edge technology. The Garden Area is where nature meets innovation in the most enchanting way possible! Take a stroll through winding paths, listening to the rustle of leaves and admiring larger-than-life-sized flowers, creating a symphony of colors, textures, and sounds.<\/p>\n

Exhibits in the Garden Area include:<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"teamLabFloating Flower Garden<\/p>\n

This garden is a space filled with over 13,000 flowers. The flowers in this exhibit are orchids and many members of the orchid family can grow without soil, instead absorbing moisture from the air. As you walk through the garden, each of your five senses are activated, which invites you to lose yourself in the flower garden.<\/p>\n

\"teamLabMoss Garden of Resonating Microsoms<\/p>\n

This is a moss garden filled with ovoids that change their color throughout the day. At sunrise, the ovoids reflect the world around them and at sunset, they shine on their own. The exhibit is interactive and transforms under the influence of the blowing wind, rain, and the behavior of the people, thus dissolving the boundaries of human and nature interactions.<\/p>\n

Public Area<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is the area outside the museum, which is available to experience with or without an admission ticket. <\/p>\n

Exhibits in the Public Area include:<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"teamLabUniverse of Fire Particles Falling from the Sky<\/p>\n

When you approach the exhibit with the \u2018Distributed Fire\u2019 app, the column of flame will ignite and this you can take back with you as a souvenir. And when you bring the flame close to another person\u2019s smartphone, a similar flame lights up. The idea? Spread light in the world, one flame at a time.<\/p>\n

\"teamLabOne Stroke Bench<\/p>\n

This is a bench made of a single piece of wood. It serves as a multi-functional furniture – a chair for sitting, a table for eating, and a chaise lounge for resting. The organic continuity of this wooden exhibit creates a landscape.<\/p>\n
