But how does it work?
TeamLab Planets entrance in Tokyo
-To start with, you will have to take the tickets months in advance because the places are limited and its popularity is huge.
-Then to be able to interact with all the content of the rooms, it is advisable to use the teamlab application as it adds new functionality to the exhibition.
-Finally, it is recommended to avoid skirts and to wear light-coloured clothes as the rooms in the building have mostly mirrors on the floor and light-coloured clothes allow a better reflection of the light.
But what is teamlab?
Teamlab is an organisation created in 2001 in Tokyo and is composed of experts from different fields such as artists, programmers, engineers, 3D animators, mathematicians and architects.
This collective aims to go beyond the limits of this art by mixing nature and artificial creation.
