Transcending Boundaries is an exhibition of works by teamLab at Pace London, which features three rooms of immersive installations, including a virtual waterfall that extends beyond the gallery wall onto the floor, flowing through the exhibition space and around the feet of the viewer. Transcending Boundaries aims to explore the role of digital technology in transcending the physical and conceptual boundaries that exist between different artworks, with imagery from one work breaking free of the frame and entering the space of another. The installations also dissolve distinctions between artwork and exhibition space, and involve the viewer through interactivity.
The art collective teamLab is a collective, interdisciplinary creative group that brings together professionals from various fields of practice in the digital society: artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, architects, web and print graphic designers and editors. Referring to themselves as “Ultra-technologists,” the group aims to go beyond the boundaries between art, science, technology and creativity, through co-creative activities. TeamLab was formed in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko.
