Exploring The World Of DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY At The DIGITAL ART MUSEUM

Digital museums are collections of digitally recorded images, sound files, text documents, and other data of historical, scientific, or cultural interest that are accessed through electronic media.

Digital museums utilise computer and network techniques to provide a rich experience. Compared with traditional museums, digital museums have some unique characteristics, such as storage digitisation, networking capabilities, and resource sharing.

The world's most visited digital art museum, TeamLab's Borderless, is not just a museum but an all-encompassing experience. Powered by lights, sounds, and projections, it gifts visitors with fully digital, immersive explorations of art and technology.

Borderless is a brick-and-mortar museum in Tokyo. It is the first institution in the world to be devoted to digital artworks and one where online sharing takes centre stage.

The digital art museum was the brainchild of TeamLab, an international art collective that has been creating artwork using digital technology since 2001. TeamLab has also opened other permanent spaces in Shanghai and Singapore. Its members have backgrounds in a wide range of disciplines, including computer programming, CG animation, engineering, mathematics, and architecture.

Electronics behind TeamLab's digital art museum

This three-dimensional, 10,000-square-metre space uses 520 computers and 470 projectors to create an experience that stimulates all five senses. The museum is divided into five sections: Borderless World, Athletics Forest, Future Park, Forest of Lamps, and the En Tea House. Overall, there are 50 exhibits.
