MASSIVE NEW AREA TO OPEN IN EARLY 2025
In early 2025, teamLab Planets will expand significantly with the addition of major new art spaces. The new area will feature the creative athletic space Athletics Forest, the co-creative educational project Future Park, as well as the Catching and Collecting Forest. The expansion will include over 10 art installations, greatly enhancing the teamLab Planets experience.
ATHLETICS FOREST
Athletics Forest is a creative athletic space based on the concept of understanding the world through the body and thinking about the world three-dimensionally. People immerse their entire body in the complex and physically challenging three-dimensional space of the interactive world.
"Humans perceive the world with their bodies and think with their bodies. When you explore a complex, three-dimensional world with your own body, you physically perceive the world three-dimensionally and in turn your thoughts become three-dimensional. We started this project, Athletics Forest, with the hopes to enhance three-dimensional and higher-dimensional thinking.
Spatial awareness is said to be correlated with innovation and creativity. I grew up in a rural area and played in the mountains, but in today's society and schools, the body is stationary. I think cities are surrounded too much by flat information such as books, TV, and smartphone screens. That is why we created a three-dimensional space that excessively demands the physical body. It is a space where people can perceive art with their physical bodies."
- teamLab Founder, Toshiyuki Inoko

FUTURE PARK
Future Park is an educational project based on the concept of collaborative creation (co-creation). It is an amusement park where people can enjoy creating the world freely with others.
An artwork comes to life through the process of people creating something together with others. As people continue to co-create, the artwork evolves endlessly.

CATCHING AND COLLECTING FOREST
Catching and Collecting Forest is a new learning space based on the concept of Catch, Study, Release, in which people explore the world with their bodies, discovering, catching, and broadening their interests based on what they catch. Visitors explore with their smartphones, capture various creatures, study them, and create their very own collection book.
When a visitor uses the smartphone's camera to look at an animal moving in the space and shoots a Study Arrow at the animal in the camera's view, the arrow flies out from the phone into the real space. When the Study Arrow reaches the animal, it disappears from the space and is added to the visitor’s own smartphone collection. When a visitor swipes a captured animal towards a location seen in the app's camera, the animal is released and returns to that location.
"Physically exploring with others, discovering and catching something, then taking the chance to broaden interests based on what was caught. This is what we have been doing naturally over the long course of human history.
For humanity, the acts of catching and gathering are fun, educational, and part of life."
- teamLab Founder, Toshiyuki Inoko

teamLab Planets Concept
Together with Others, Immerse your Entire Body, Perceive with your Body, and Become One with the World
teamLab Planets is a museum where you walk through water, and a garden where you become one with the flowers. It comprises 4 large-scale artwork spaces and 2 gardens created by art collective teamLab.
People go barefoot and immerse their entire bodies in the vast artworks together with others. The artworks change under the presence of people, blurring the perception of boundaries between the self and the works. Other people also create change in the artworks, blurring the boundaries between themselves and the works, and creating a continuity between the self, the art, and others.
