Modern art goes high-tech

Also, flowers bloom and scatter into pieces in a circle of birth and death on walls and floors while viewers touch them either with their hands or feet. And virtual birds, fish and other animals move from one room to another.

Speaking about his works, Inoko says: "I wanted to explore and extend the notion of beauty. I'm interested in the relationship between man and nature, and encourage people to explore their body and the world."

Also, he says currently people live lives removed from nature, which gives them a mistaken view that humans can live separately from nature. And this is his focus in teamLab's works.

TeamLab's works always use elements from nature, such as water, light, animals and plants to create a world that allow visitors to be part of nature instead of focusing only on themselves.

Nearly half of the 1.7 million visitors who have seen the shows so far are foreigners, and about 10 percent of them are Chinese.

Xiao Ge, a Chinese artist who flew to see the two shows with her curator husband in November, says that teamLab's show is like an art Disneyland for adults.
