teamlab Biovortex Kyoto Set To Open This Fall
A new permanent immersive museum with rotating installations.
Summary
- teamLab Biovortex Kyoto opens Fall 2025 as a permanent immersive art museum
- It will feature interactive installations such as “Massless Amorphous Sculpture” and “Massless Suns”
- The museum will showcase a rotating selection of works
Opening this fall, teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will be the latest permanent immersive art museum by the acclaimed collective teamLab. Located near Kyoto Station, the museum is part of the city’s broader urban revitalization initiative. This project aims to establish a dynamic cultural and creative hub, fostering a new synergy around art, youth, and innovation.
The concept behind “Biovortex” suggests a swirling center of life and interconnectedness, themes deeply resonant with teamLab’s artistic philosophy. Among the highlighted installations, “Massless Amorphous Sculpture” stands out as a floating, shape-shifting entity, composed of foam-like material that maintains its form even when people enter it. This piece embodies teamLab’s exploration of masslessness, creating a seamless blend of digital and tangible elements.
The immersive journey continues with other key works designed to challenge perception. “Massless Suns and Dark Suns” presents a constellation of glowing orbs that shift based on human presence. As visitors widen their perception, dark spheres emerge, existing solely within the viewer’s cognitive reality, making each experience uniquely personal. Another installation, “Morphing Continuum,” is designed to stretch across both space and time, continuously regenerating as visitors immerse themselves within it. Additionally, “Traces of Life” offers an interactive experience where visitors’ movements create ephemeral trails, symbolizing the interconnectedness of individuals within the art space.
Unlike teamLab Planets Tokyo or teamLab Borderless, which feature seasonal themes, teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will showcase a rotating selection of immersive works, ensuring a constantly evolving experience for returning visitors. For more information, visit teamlab’s official website.
