Chromatic Existence is one of the new series in the reopened Light sculpture-Flow space.

Teamlab is an art collective made up of animators, programmers, architects, mathematicians and designers which began in 2001.

The Borderless museum originally opened in Odaiba, Tokyo, but reopened in a new location in 2024 in Tokyo's Azabudai Hills.

Visitors move freely through the artworks

Using projectors and computers, visitors can fully immerse themselves in artworks, exploring multiple spaces with constantly shifting digital art.

The borderless name is because there is no fixed route or maps.

More than 560 projectors, computers, and hundreds of sensors are installed in the space, to create more than 70 artworks.

In Sketch Aquarium for example visitors can colour a fish on paper provided then watch as it joins other fish made by other people in the massive aquarium projected all around.

People can even interact with and feed the fish.

In Walk, Walk, Walk strange creatures keep walking and moving

Some artworks interact with others like Walk, Walk, Walk.

Mystical creatures keep walking, but when people touch them they might change direction or stop.

They cross other artworks and move into other spaces.
