It’s now 70 per cent complete
Exciting news! We’ve just learned that the development of teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is now 70 per cent complete.
Announced by the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi (DCT), Miral and teamLab, the 17,000sqm unprecedented art project will offer a multi-sensory exploration of experiential artworks created by art collective teamLab.
Located within Saadiyat Cultural District, the multi-sensory art experience will house large-scale immersive artwork spaces created by the globally acclaimed and interdisciplinary Tokyo-based art collective teamLab, offering inspirational spaces at the intersection of art and technology, igniting curiosity, imagination, and creativity in all who visit.
“The curated, experiential space will add yet another outstanding experience to Miral’s portfolio of world-class experiences and attractions, appealing to visitors from across the globe,” said Jonathan Brown, Chief Portfolio Officer of Miral.
Home for infinite curiosity, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi will feature constantly transforming artistic installations that will be unique to Abu Dhabi, which have been designed based on teamLab’s concept of Environmental Phenomena, created through an extensive experimentation process.

“A key characteristic of teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is the environment and the various phenomena created by it,” said Toshiyuki Inoko, founder of teamLab.
“The environment stabilises the structure of these phenomena, and the stabilised phenomena become the artworks themselves.
In other words, unlike stones or man-made creations that can maintain a stable structure on their own, the artworks at teamLab Phenomena do not exist independently, but are dependent on their environment.”
“Even if people break the work apart, the work will remain in existence, as long as its environment is maintained. On the contrary, the work will disappear if the environment is not maintained.
“In time,” he added, “people’s consciousness will expand to include the environment. A stone can continue to exist in a closed box, sealed off from the outside world, but life cannot sustain its existence in such a box. Life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges from a flow in a continuous world.”
teamLab is an international art collective whose practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world.
