The design here is so visually dense that it commands your full attention. Every surface is covered in saturated oranges, hypnotic swirls, or bold cheetah spots, creating a total environment that feels completely detached from the outside world. This level of immersion is a deliberate choice, engineered to produce highly shareable content. The entire experience is a meticulously crafted backdrop for social media, and that's not a criticism; it's a recognition of a very shrewd and effective design objective.

Otherworldly forms greet you at the entrance to the exhibition, transporting you into a kaleidoscopic, dream-like space. A voice speaks in the background as projected images dance across the forms, animating the space. "It's been really beautiful to see her work come alive, become a landscape ... where you can traverse and kind of get lost," curator Fabiola R. Delgado says of Lisu Vega's "The Uncertain Future of Absence (El Futuro Incierto de la Ausencia)" (2025).

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.

Variously described by Fordjour as a "giant music box in the dark," an "acoustic wilderness," and "a conjuring," Nightsong immerses viewers in an atmospheric sensorium whose aesthetic and thematic depictions trace Black musical history as it manifests, evolves, and travels through time and genre. While Fordjour has long drawn on music and theatricality in his two and three-dimensional artworks, Nightsong brings these subjects to exuberant life, as numerous vocalists perform an original, four-hour songcycle, composed exclusively for the exhibition, across a spatial, multi-room nightscape.
