TEAM LAB BORDERLESS

The new, awe-inspiring, futuristic, innovative and the world’s first Digital Art museum opened on June 21, 2018 in Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan. The museum– the Mori Building Digital Arts Museum Team Lab borderless– was designed by Team lab. The Team lab was found by Toshiyuki Inoko in 2001. The museum was created by 5 digital artists that eventually expanded to 500 people. Today, Team lab is an interdisciplinary group of brilliant engineers, mathematicians, designers, programmers, scientists, musicians, architects, and animators, who collectively devote full energy to create unprecedented digital art with technology.

There are concerts happening all over Japan. In fact, Odaiba is a very popular spot for famous Japanese concert artists. The several concerts I watched took place next to the Gundam statue– a perfect place to hold a concert.



This 40 foot State of Liberty was temporarily erected by 1998 as a tribute to Japan’s relationship with France. The statue though was made permanent in Odaiba in 2000. It has become a very iconic feature in Japan.
What is very impressive about the Odaiba statute of liberty is that its backdrop is the beautiful and stunning rainbow bridge.
