teamLab Sketch Umwelt

About this event

What this is

teamLab Sketch Umwelt is an immersive digital art installation by teamLab, the renowned Tokyo-based art collective known for pioneering interactive digital environments. This exhibition explores the concept of Umwelt—the unique perceptual world experienced by different organisms—through participatory drawing activities that come to life in projected digital ecosystems. Visitors create their own creatures and plants on paper, which are then scanned and integrated into a living digital environment where they interact with other participants' creations. The installation demonstrates teamLab's signature blend of technology, nature, and collaborative creativity, transforming individual sketches into a collective, ever-evolving artwork.

Who should go

This exhibition appeals to families with children, digital art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in interactive creative experiences. The participatory nature makes it especially engaging for younger visitors who enjoy seeing their drawings animated and integrated into larger ecosystems, while adults appreciate the conceptual depth and technical execution. The atmosphere is playful yet contemplative, encouraging both wonder and reflection on perception and interconnectedness. Arrive early on weekdays to avoid crowds and allow at least 90 minutes to fully engage with the drawing activities and observe the evolving digital environment.
