MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: EPSON teamLab Borderless
We visited “Borderless,” the world’s first digital art museum operated by teamLab.
Once you pay the admission fee, you have access to every area, and the entire museum, including its experiential installations, is yours to enjoy — but the sole paid area is the “EN TEA HOUSE.”
EN TEA HOUSE
“EN TEA HOUSE,” located on the second floor of the venue, has a reception desk just past the entrance. Look at the menu and place your order. The following four types of tea are available. *No alcohol — sadly!
- Cold-brew tea
- Yuzu green tea
- Green tea
- Chamomile hojicha latte
After ordering and entering the floor, you’ll find an area set up in counter style.
The digital art museum “Borderless” is full of interactive mechanisms where the light and imagery change according to us visitors’ actions, and “EN TEA HOUSE” is the same. Flowers bloom inside the teacups filled with tea, and moving imagery unfolds.
Art blogger Akina was also having a great time — she introduced videos on Twitter.
It seems poised to become a place where you can spend a moment of elegant time in a cafe unlike any in everyday life.
There are also several beverage vending machines installed inside the venue. Since it’s a calm space freed from light and sound, don’t forget about them either. *They were priced normally, so rest assured.
