set across a monumental 10,000 square meters and comprising more than 50 artworks in a single space, teamlab’smori building digital art museum is officially open to the public. the immersive institution features multiple 3-dimensional spaces that revolve around the theme of ‘borderless’, removing the boundaries between art and visitors. the japanese collective of ‘ultra-technologists’ have titled the entitled the extensive exhibition ‘teamlab borderless’ to describe the free-flowing nature of the boundary-free installations that transcend the various rooms, communicating with other artworks and even blending in with them.
Getting your groove going with a modular synth can involve lots of patch cables or a screen full of intimidating controls, depending on whether you’re playing with hardware or software. Or it could be a frightening collection of both. Industrial designer Colin Hearon set out to simplify the interface and has come up with an interactive, modular synthesis device called Tone Lab where players young or old stack up components to generate layers of sound.
during milan design week 2018, see, hear and feel hidden senses that inform your everyday life. the sony ‘hidden senses’ exhibition creates a sensorial experience where the relation between technology and human behavior is explored to envision an enriched lifestyle for a new tomorrow. visitors will experience the incredible opportunities advancements offer but seamlessly, as the technology blends into a highly focused and attuned contextual space, full of familiar objects.
teamlab is bringing an immersive, 2,000 square meter exhibition to paris, forming a vast space that allows visitors to experience the world through their own bodies. from may 4 to september 2, 2018 at la villette, ‘au-delà des limites’ explores the role of digital technology in the blurring of physical and conceptual boundaries that exist between art. while each of the installations on view maintain a sense of autonomy, they simultaneously break free from their frame and enter the realm of another, influencing and sometimes intermingling with other artworks.
Models walked through an archway of rainbow-hued lasers at Burberry’s London Fashion Week show, which featured light installations by London studio United Visual Artists.
The brand’s autumn winter 2018 presentation — the last to be overseen by creative director Christopher Bailey — took place on Sunday, 18 February as part of this year’s London Fashion Week.
In 2018, Algorithms will increasingly power every aspect of our lives, from voice recognition to self-driving cars. But it’s difficult for humans to understand such abstractions. “There’s a real lack of imagery and visual metaphors for all these new and very abstract things that we have in our lives,” explains Marcus Wendt, creative director at London-based art and technology studio FIELD. “We don’t have anything that will help us decide whether we can really trust these systems, or which one to go for, whenever there is more than one option.”
FIELD created five exclusive images for The World in 2018, WIRED magazine’s annual look at the technology which will impact our lives in the follpwing year. Cased on the structure of computing code, the images are part of a project to make algorithms much more accessible to all of us by developing a new visual language around them.

Breaking Wave is an anamorphic kinetic sculpture created for Biogen-Idec’s new headquarters in Cambridge, MA by Plebian Design and Hypersonic.
Breaking Wave tells the story of the search for patterns, and the surprising results that come by changing our point of view. 804 suspended spheres move in a wave-like formation. When the wave crests and breaks, the balls hover momentarily in a cloud. From almost anywhere in the room, this cloud is purely chaotic, but step into one of two hidden spots, and this apparent chaos shows a hidden pattern. From the first, a labyrinth hints at the search for knowledge, and from the second, a Fibonacci spiral inspired flower reminds us of the natural order and patterns found in nature.
Scientists search through billions of experimental data points in order to find patterns to develop new drugs, to treat Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer, and other diseases. Without a particular framework or perspective, these are just 0’s and 1’s, with no form or information. But with the perspective of an understanding of molecular dynamics, these data points create a clear picture about the hidden dynamics within the body, and allow scientists to craft drugs to successfully treat these diseases.
