Tokyo unveils world's 1st digital psychedelic art museum without guide maps

Touch, please. What’s being billed as the world’s first all-digital museum is part art gallery, part amusement park and for some, part haunted house. Some things typically found in an art museum are missing: There are no guide maps, no descriptions, and no signs warning viewers to keep their hands off the art work. In fact, there are no works of art — in the usual sense of paintings or objects behind glass cases. At the MORI Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo, a collaboration between the developer and art collective TeamLab, light and space is the art. Visitors navigate a maze of dark, empty rooms, stepping into or onto about 50 kaleidoscopic installations that are triggered by motion sensors and projected across every surface of the 100,000-square-foot exhibit space, waiting to be discovered.
