An artwork called "Moving Creates Vortices and Vortices Create Movement" by TeamLab, created an interactive digital installation at the National Gallery of Victoria as part of the NGV Triennial. Interacting to a person's movement, a continuum of numerous particles and the interaction between the particles is calculated, then lines are drawn according to the trails of the particles.
The installation artwork is inspired from the ocean, always changing and influenced by force applied within the environment. If there is no movement, no flow will occur. When a fast flow occurs a rotation phenomenon is produced due to the difference in the flow velocity around it, creating a vortex. The faster the person moves, the stronger the force is applied in that direction.
TeamLab, the art collective behind the installation is made up of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects who covers topics of art, science, technology, design and the natural world through art.
"We see no boundary between ourselves and nature; one is in the other and the other in one. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous continuity of life" - TeamLab
Aiming to explore relationships between humans and nature, TeamLab combines digital technology and physical artforms to leap boundaries to create new mediums for expression. Learn more about TeamLab regarding past and future projects on the link below.
