Expo Milano 2015 teamLab in the Japan pavilion The Japan pavilion is a real drawcard for visitors to Expo Milano 2015. The multimedia installations by teamLab – Harmony and Diversity – inside actually reference the pavilion's theme of “Harmonious Diversity”.



The Japanese pavilions at world expos are always very popular with visitors. Expo Milano 2015 is no exception to this and the queue at the Japan pavilion is proof that they've hit the mark yet again. Still, the wait is truly worth it - once you get inside you are amply rewarded by the two multimedia installations set up by the creative team of teamLab, which you'll remember for their Floating Flower Garden that we have already presented.



teamLab has used high-end digital technology to interpret the key watchwords of the Japanese theme: harmony and diversity. 





“Harmony” is a space that combines the infinite reflections of a semi-reflective mirror installed in the wall with video images that use “projection mapping” to recreate the four seasons with their chromatic changes, making visitors feel as if they're wading through Japanese rice paddies.





In turn, the “Diversity” theme is interpreted by teamLab with the “waterfall of diversity” where large amounts of content flow down - from farm to food. The whole thing is an interactive experience, and visitors can simply touch the content they find at the bottom of the waterfall to find out all about it.



So, you'll just need to be armed with a bit of patience to be able to enjoy these two of the nine settings in all, each one filled with surprises and that chronicle Japan's “Harmonious Diversity”.
