You might remember the playful room of projections, in which artists used light to simulate ocean currents. The Australian premiere of teamLab’s latest work will be at Tolarno Galleries [Level 4 104 Exhibition Street, Melbourne] as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival (formerly Melbourne Festival), which runs from October 2 to 20.
