teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi Key Exhibits

There are no rigid paths like traditional galleries in teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi; you can walk around from one exhibit to another freely:

Levitation Void

At the center of its space, this piece of art introduces an order of energy—a void created and sustained by its surroundings.

Spontaneous Order in Chaos

There is no central concept to the color strokes in this piece of art; neither direction nor outside influence are present. Even as everything shifts toward disorder, spontaneous order consistently arises on its own through straightforward, localized interactions between people and color strokes.

Light Vortex

The same water, both inside and out, makes up an ocean vortex. There isn't a major distinction. In spite of this, why do we sense life in the ocean's whirlpools?

Wind Form

Wind art. The flow constantly interacts with and changes in relation to every other flow in the artwork space, and it is impacted by the space's shape and the presence of people. The trajectories of the innumerable interacting particles that make up the flow draw lines.

Biocosmos

The movement of hundreds of thousands of birds is beautiful and mysterious, as if a single, giant life form.

Flutter of Butterflies

Where people touch the walls and the floor, butterflies begin to flutter. While the entire flutter moves in chaos, a portion of the artwork continues to create spontaneous order through the simple interactions among the butterflies.

Floating Lamps in Spontaneous Order

Every floating lamp on the water has a unique rhythm to its illumination. Their flickering rhythms get closer to one another as they gradually start a spontaneous order phenomenon by mutually influencing nearby lamps and tea in a spontaneous order.
