What Is teamLab Phenomena?
But before we get into all the fun, let’s get to know our new friends first. At teamLab Phenomena, art isn’t just something you look at – it’s something you step into, interact with, and become part of! Unlike traditional artworks that exist independently, these digital masterpieces rely on their surroundings. The environment itself creates the art, shaping and transforming it in real-time. Elements like air, water, and light turn into ever-changing phenomena, making each visit a more unique and immersive experience than your last. The result? A mesmerising world where the boundaries between art, nature, and technology disappear.
A Global Sensation Arrives In Abu Dhabi
Founded by a diverse group of artists, programmers, engineers, animators, mathematicians, and architects, teamLab explores the connection between humans, the environment, and technology. Already wowing audiences in cities like Tokyo, Singapore, Jeddah, Beijing, and Macau, each teamLab experience is unique to its location. And now, Abu Dhabi is getting its very own one-of-a-kind version!
A Sneak Peek At Some Breathtaking Exhibits
Expect stunning, otherworldly installations designed to push the boundaries of perception. Here are just a few highlights:
Levitation Void
A mysterious space where energy takes shape, floating and shifting in mesmerising ways.
Massless Suns And Dark Suns
Luminous spheres of light and shadow collide, altering how you see reality.
And there’s more! Here are some upcoming artworks, with names that are yet to be revealed:
