TeamLab creates interactive whirlpools inside National Gallery of Victoria

Japanese art collective TeamLab has used lighting to create a sea of spiralling whirlpools inside a Melbourne art museum.

TeamLab created the interactive digital installation at the National Gallery of Victoria as part of the NGV Triennial – a showcase of over 100 contemporary artists and designers.

Designed to look like whirlpools in water, the installation is created from “immersive and responsive” lights that project moving lines on the floor. These lights are programmed to respond to the presence and movement of people in the room.

“When a person moves, a force is applied in that direction. As a result, a flow occurs,” explained the designers.

“The faster the person moves, the stronger the force is applied in that direction,” they said. “If a person is not moving or there are no more people, no flow will occur and nothing will be present in the space.”
