dear designboom reader,

interactive installations engage viewers in artistic ways. when teamLab opens its new borderless museum in tokyo, the art collective materializes this through projections, ephemeral lights, and digital fires. ‘massive sculptures in which light appears to flow out are born, sweeping towards people, expanding, and drawing people into it,’ teamLab tells designboom in our recent interview.

even artist artur weber wants visitors to be active participants in a symphony of sounds produced using water at the noor riyadh's light festival. interactive installations have no shortage of techniques to draw people in, including vincent leroy's kinetic floating lenses that play with the subject's size through the spectacles and pinaffo & pluvinage's cardboard panels that whizz and whir using sand.

thanks for reading!
