TeamLab, an ultra-technologist group formed by Tokyo University postgraduates, brings its passion for technology wherever they hold their shows. Now the world famous digital exhibition is in Beijing.

The stunning practices seek to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and creativity. Interaction is required at each exhibition zone.

In the "Sketch Town" area, children are taught about how relationships form between people or things that share the same place.

Visitors can choose one object and color in, then, the drawings are scanned and rendered in three dimensions on the screen, which can move around and change their track by touching the screen.

An educational initiative aimed at children though, the adult visitors also enjoy it.

"I've been to immersive exhibitions several times. This is different because it reminds people of their childhood,” said Bi Shukai, a frequent visitor to exhibitions.

“The visitors can draw different things, and they will become a part of the exhibition. Art seems not that far away from me," Bi added.

TeamLab’s vision is one of co-creative experience at every level. It’s the philosophy that underpins all their efforts to date.

"'Future Parks', the TeamLab's digital art project, which focuses on encouraging changes in the relationships between people in the same space through digital art," said Nasato Nishiguchi, the director of TeamLab Kids.

"We believe that the creative act can be turned into an opportunity to discover the interesting part of collaborative creative activities. This helps us to make children more co-creative," Nishiguchi added.

The three-month exhibition 'Future Park' runs through October 7 at the Yang Art Museum in Beijing.
