It’s almost surprising the Mori Building Digital Art Museum: teamLab Borderless is the first dedicated digital art museum in the world – a 107, 000-square-foot venue recently opened in Tokyo and conceived to transcend “the constraints of material substance”. Augmented reality, digital art, and the spectacle of made-for-Instagram exhibits have already proliferated across galleries and museums around the world. But the new digital art museum may be the most spectacular of them all.
Divided into five distinct zones and “painted” alive using 470 Epson projectors powered by 520 computers, each interior is blanketed as hyper-colored landscapes of augmented reality. The influence of Yayoi Kusama’s
And Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is visible throughout, with an element of the surreal pervading, perhaps referencing the tessellated and fragmented realities formulated by Google’s artificial neural network. The sum of the experience is intended to engulf visitors in awe and wonder, trading away the subtle for the experiential.

The museum located in Odaiba, Tokyo is the brainchild of the Japanese art collective, teamLab, a group of “ultra-technologists” dedicated to manipulating the bounds of physical space into an immersive collection of exhibitions engaging visitors with a high degree of motion, color, and interaction, each blurring the lines between the physical and digital. The museum is a culmination of the teamLab’s efforts across the globe, including Future World in Singapore and Massless in Helsinki, Finland. Or in the words of teamLab founder Toshiyuki Inoko, an “expression from substance” capable of transcending traditional static mediums.
The influence of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrors is clearly evident in one of the Mori Building Digital Art Museum teamLab Borderless’ exhibition.

The digital art collective teamLab—an interdisciplinary group consisting of artists, scientists, and more—has had multiple exhibitions around and beyond Japan over the past few years.

The Coolest Museum Ever
The Mori Building Digital Art Museum’s stunning installations make the perfect backdrop for #aesthetic shots. The two most popular installations are the Crystal World and the Forest of Resonating Lamps. The former is a room full of mirrors and dazzling, colorful LEDs (fun fact: you can change the colors with the teamLab app). In the latter, you can marvel at the lanterns and their ever-changing colors.
While taking photos and videos is part of the experience, and is actually something that teamLab encourages, don’t just visit for the Instagram potential. You’re highly encouraged to experience the art in ways other than clicking away on your smartphone. After all, it’s been said that all art is an immersive experience, and you can truly feel that for yourself here. For one, you’ll find that some art projections react to touch.

Note that you must have appropriate footwear here (see our tips below for more info).
