What is teamLab Biovortex Kyoto?

Located within the Kyoto City Botanical Garden, the installation visualizes the unseen flows of wind, water, and life; a living digital ecosystem where art, technology, and nature intertwine. Your movements influence the luminous swirls around you, creating ever-changing patterns of light and motion. Each visit becomes a dialogue between the human body and the natural world, constantly regenerating in real time.

No two experiences are ever the same — every step reshapes the artwork itself. A meditative journey inviting you to rediscover the fragile beauty of life’s interconnected cycles.

How does the experience unfold at teamLab: Biovortex Kyoto?

At Biovortex Kyoto you’ll traverse four floors, spanning over 10,000 m², with more than 50 distinct artworks housed in a labyrinth of immersive spaces. You’ll enter a vast darkened hall where floating “massless” bubble-like forms drift through air (“Massless Amorphous Sculpture”). Wander into the “Forest of Resonating Lamps” where hundreds of illuminated lanterns respond to your movement and shift colour. In the “Athletics Forest” zone you’ll climb, balance, jump and physically engage as light, sound and motion react to your body.

Other rooms surround you with crystalline light fields, endless reflections and mirror-floors, and digital ecosystems where your presence alters waves of colour, form and motion. The experience feels part museum, part playground, and wholly an invitation to become part of the art itself.
