Art collective teamLab have launched their second digital-only Borderless museum, described as "a world made of artworks without boundaries."
Located in Huangpu District, Shanghai, teamLab Borderless Shanghai follows the launch of MORI Building Digital Art Museum: teamLab Borderless in Tokyo last year.
Designed by teamLab Architects, the 6,600sq m (71,000sq ft) destination is said to be an intricately-structured three-dimensional space housing around 50 artworks.
Visitors walk through the galleries experiencing digital artworks that move out of the rooms around them, form connections with and react to them and transcend the physical space of the museum, moving between other teamLab Borderless museums around the world.
Among the artworks on display are a vast forest of lamps that light up with the proximity of visitors and digital light sculptures comprising more than 1,000 densely packed moving lights.
teamLab told CLAD: "The teamLab Borderless museums are, to some extent, museums in urban areas. However, in the future, we would like to work to create outdoor experiences in lush nature, where our artworks exist within the environment as one part of the surrounding nature."
teamLab Borderless Shanghai opened at the start of November.
