In 2022, teamLab became part of Osaka’s expansive Nagai Botanical Garden in Higashisumiyoshi, a lush urban oasis featuring a skatepark, eateries and the captivating teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka, which is home to a stunning collection of immersive digital art installations.
Just in time for spring, teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka is bringing back its mesmerising floral installation ‘Life is Flickering Light Floating in the Dark - Nemophila’. This exhibition features a vast field of tiny nemophila flowers – also known as baby blue eyes – lit up at night.
Like all immersive teamLab installations, this one changes when you interact with it. When people stand close to the flowers, they will end up shining brighter while producing a different tone. The light then radiates out, spreading across to nearby nemophila until all the flowers resonate with the same hue. When this light approaches from the opposite direction, it signals the presence of others, enhancing visitors’ awareness of both themselves and those around them.
You can catch ‘Life is Flickering Light Floating in the Dark - Nemophila’ at teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka from April 10 to May 18.
In addition to the nemophila light up, the park also highlights the season’s cherry blossoms with the artwork ‘Floating Resonating Lamps on the Large Pond - Ambiguous Cherry Blossoms’. This is on display until April 13.
