TeamLab Planets is an immersive digital art museum where visitors are invited to engage with the artwork. This is not a traditional “stand-and-watch” exhibit. Here, you’re part of the action: walking, wading, and interacting in body-immersive installations. With cutting-edge technology, light, and sound, TeamLab Planets blurs the boundaries between art, nature, and science.
The museum is designed around a physical, sensory experience. Visitors walk barefoot through rooms filled with digital water, floral projections, and mirrors, engaging directly with the art to shape and influence their surroundings.
teamLab Planets was brought to life by teamLab, a Japanese art collective formed in 2001. Comprising a wide array of professionals—artists, engineers, programmers, mathematicians, and architects—teamLab explores the intersection of technology and art. Their mission is to dissolve the boundaries between humans and the environment, which is reflected in the immersive, responsive nature of their exhibits.
Kengo Kuma, the famed Japanese architect, also contributed to the design of the building itself. Kuma’s minimalistic yet organic style perfectly complements the museum’s fusion of nature and technology. He incorporated flowing, curved lines and open spaces, which allow for a seamless transition between the museum’s various interactive rooms.
The architecture of teamLab Planets reflects both simplicity and immersion. The glass facade invites natural light into the building, while the vast open spaces inside create a sense of freedom and flow. Visitors are greeted by minimalistic design elements, like gentle slopes and interconnected rooms that allow for fluid movement through the exhibits. This organic design encourages visitors to explore and engage with the digital art without feeling confined.
Kuma's architectural style, combined with teamLab’s innovative use of space, enhances the overall experience, ensuring that the museum is as much about the journey between exhibits as it is about the installations themselves.
