Steiner Lecture in Creative Inquiry: teamLab
On Tuesday, November 6th at 6:30 p.m., the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry will welcome teamLab for the Steiner Lecture in Creative Inquiry. teamLab is an art collective and interdisciplinary group of ultratechnologists whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, design and the natural world. Various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects form teamLab.
teamLab aims to explore a new relationship between humans and nature, and between oneself and the world through art. Digital technology has allowed art to liberate itself from the physical and transcend boundaries. teamLab sees no boundary between humans and nature, and between oneself and the world; one is in the other and the other in one. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity of life.
This event is open to the public and refreshments will be served. For more information, visit studioforcreativeinquiry.org.
