Scene: Ultra Subjective Space. Pace Gallery hosted the opening reception of the first US exhibition of Japanese collaborative digital artists, teamLab, on West 25th Street. The two-venue exhibition at Pace is through August 15, 2014. These six works on digital monitors and projection installations are constantly in motion, kinetic art. For a preview of the works in motion click here. They reflect the construction of Japanese spatial awareness by creating a flattened three dimensional world. The exhibit title, Ultra Subjective Space, refers to this distinctive Japanese sense of spatial recognition. In traditional Japanese composition from Ukiyo-e prints to the current Manga illustrations,
figures and objects exist on a single plane as opposed to Western Renaissance perspective.

teamLab is an interdisciplinary creative group that brings together professionals from various fields in the information age: artists, editors, programmers, mathematicians, architects, web and print graphic designers, and computer graphic animators who attempt to achieve a balance between technology, art, commerce, and creativity. After the reception we walked to Bottino for dinner.
