“teamLab: A Forest where Gods Live” is an art exhibition at the Mifuneyama Rakuen Park in Takeo-city, Saga, a registered monument of Japan which opened in 1845. teamLab’s project showcases 14 artworks including multiple new works, transforming the 500,000-square meter garden into an immersive digital-art labyrinth that changes as it reacts with the visitors, within an art project called “Digitized Nature” where “Nature Becomes Art.” The concept of the project is that non-material digital art can turn nature into art without harming it.

“We exist as a part of an eternal continuity of life and death, a process which has been continuing for an overwhelmingly long time. It is hard for us, however, to sense this in our everyday lives. When exploring the forest, we come to realize that the shapes of the giant rocks, caves, and the forest that have been formed over the eons, are the shapes of the continuous cycle of life itself. By applying digital art to this unique environment, the exhibition celebrates the continuity of life”, teamLab explains.
