The World of Irreversible Change by teamLab is on view at the San Antonio Museum of Art through March 23, 2025.
This art piece mimics the style of historic Japanese screens like Scenes in and Around Kyoto (Rakuchu Rakugai-zu), offering a bird's-eye view of the ancient capital city with its lively buildings and bustling streets. Viewers interact with the art world of a virtual city that exists both in the past and the present, influencing the actions of its inhabitants. While these inhabitants may sometimes become agitated and cause destruction, the virtual environment continually regenerates, though it is perpetually altered.
Learn more about this piece and travel the world through even more artworks at the San Antonio Museum of Art.
