Spanning over 10,000 square meters, teamLab Biovortex Kyoto is now the collective's largest exhibition in Japan, and perhaps its most conceptually daring. Designed as part of the Kyoto Station Southeast Area Project, this new museum isn't just an addition to the city's cultural landscape - it's a living, breathing ecosystem of light, sound, and movement. Located in Kyoto's Minami-ku district, this permanent museum marks a monumental chapter in teamLab's creative evolution, blending technology, environment, and human experience in one breathtaking, ever-changing space.
The classic picture of the mature magnate bidding for a Rothko at a London auction room is giving way to that of young individuals in their early thirties who invest from their mobile phones, share online stories of their favorite art stands from the Frieze Seoul fair, and buy and sell digital art with the joy of someone who accepts that everything in this life is transitory, so that leaving a legacy is not a priority.

Conceived as both a sculptural form and a digital interface, the project explores how AI can be embodied in a tangible medium. The piece incorporates a 4D anamorphic display, which generates a sense of depth and spatial presence, and a studio-grade sound system that enhances audiovisual interaction.
Using the Image to ASCII tool available online, Enigmatriz found a new way to play with digital assets. "Everyday, I sit on my computer and browse through hundreds of images in the public domain to find things that catch my attention and feel are worth shining a new light on them," says Enigmatriz. "When working with ASCII, what I like and find particularly interesting is the blend between hundred old paintings, photographs etc. and modern technologies."
In 2018, Christie's catapulted AI artwork into the mainstream when they sold the Paris-based collective Obvious's GANS inkprint Portrait of Le Comte de Belamy (2018) for $432,500, dwarfing the work's high estimate of $10,000. And, few could forget the March 2021 sale of Beeple's digital work Everyday: The First 5000 Days (2021), which hammered at $69.3m (the house applied no estimate) and put NFTs on the art world map.

The Whispering Mountains is a site-specific installation featuring illuminated, mountain-like sculptures inspired by the majestic peaks surrounding Queenstown, aiming to reflect their powerful presence.
The use of music in Kyle's short is particularly hilarious - stock, YouTuber-esque music underpins every sad moment with jarringly upbeat vibes, creating a juxtaposition that delivers laughs as well as discomfort.
"When it rains in Indonesia, you see the sap flow through the sculpture in real time. When the air quality shifts, the flows respond. During a heatwave, the tree visibly struggles. This real-time installation reveals just how fragile the cacao supply chain has become."
"The same institution that values tradition above almost everything else has quietly acknowledged that artistic merit isn't about the tools you use - it's about what you create with them."
