teamlab: Planets

Light, water and responsive digital imagery make teamLab Planets in Tokyo an installation experience that involves the visitor's body as well as sight. Some spaces are entered barefoot, with water forming part of the artwork rather than a decorative backdrop. Reflections and projected imagery can alter the sense of depth and boundaries, making movement through the space part of the experience. The installation suits visitors interested in large-scale digital art and active participation rather than viewing objects from a distance.

Its sensory intensity can be appealing or tiring depending on individual preference. The defining idea is the relationship between physical surroundings and changing imagery, including works that respond to people. Specific rooms and access conditions can change, so a fixed account of light tunnels should not be treated as a complete description of the venue.
