Chongqing - On September 12, 2024, a signing ceremony for the teamLab FuturePark Chongqing Debut was held at the Chongqing Metropolis Oriental Plaza in collaboration with Shanghai Tokuten.

Cai Zhiqiang, Metropolis Oriental Plaza General Manager, said, "The digital economy is thriving, and cultural art, as a vital part of a city's soft power, is transforming people's aesthetic experiences and consumption patterns with its unique charm and innovative nature, especially when combined with digital technology. The introduction of the globally renowned immersive digital interactive exhibition 'teamLab FuturePark' to Chongqing for the first time brings new vitality and inspiration to the city's digital culture and art scene. It also fosters the integration of digital art and commerce, contributing to Chongqing’s goal of becoming an international consumer center city."

"This initiative is not only a significant part of Metropolis' renovation efforts, but it also actively responds to Chongqing's mission to develop into an international consumer center by introducing high-profile exhibitions like teamLab Future Park. By bringing debut economies to Jiefangbei, we enhance the district’s consumer market atmosphere, offering more immersive experiences to Chongqing's citizens and visitors."

Preparations for the teamLab FuturePark debut in Chongqing have already begun. The exhibition will open in May 2025, allowing Chongqing’s citizens and visitors to experience an interactive digital feast attracting millions worldwide.

 Lu Mengyao, Shanghai Tokuten Deputy General Manager said, "When digital technology meets art, traditional art spaces evolve from static and rigid to multi-sensory experiences incorporating sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Visitors become participants and creators, immersing themselves in the artwork. We hope the teamLab FuturePark exhibition in Chongqing will provide a fresh digital interactive experience, transforming traditional exhibition models. Through this, adults and children can feel unprecedented connections, fostering an advanced aesthetic experience. We believe this will bring joy and satisfaction to the citizens of Chongqing through the act of creation."

Created by the teamLab art collective, the "teamLab Future Park" provides an immersive digital interactive experience at the intersection of art, science, technology, and nature. It invites the audience to participate and create new experiences, enjoying co-creation fun.

Cai concluded, "By bringing the teamLab Future Park exhibition to Chongqing, Metropolis reinforces its leading position in trend culture and continues to drive Chongqing’s cultural innovation. This debut exhibition is part of our vision to integrate artistic spaces into commercial complexes, expanding the boundaries of art while promoting the deep integration of culture, commerce, and tourism industries, offering Chongqing an unprecedented immersive digital interactive experience."
