I’m trying to make a habit of what I find works for me when viewing others’ more established lighting and immersive design installations.
Things I appreciated about TeamLab Borderless @ Mori (Roppongi)
- Cohesion between different exhibits
- e.g. the steam entrance showing a different exhibit’s perspective, same music
- Different ways of having the viewer relate to the space
- being surrounded by lighting (with unknown scale), vs. with known scale (lilypads, plus the transition from “underwater” to “above water”), vs. the lighting is using you as a frame of reference (moving orbs on tracks)
- Total seamlessness of operation / highly predictable / very robust
- teahouse
- Harnessing existing constraints for useful noise (vibration of the moving orbs) – thus elegantly using the strengths of the installation’s implementation in one’s favor rather than overengineering.
