Dear Diary, 

I finally found what I know we all have been searching for - a family friendly acid trip. Really, it's all of the fun and none of the potential risk of psychosis. I expected to be amazed when I bought tickets to TeamLab Borderless and as a museum fanatic I expected to see something new. I was completely blown away by the whole trippy experience and couldn't wait to spill the details. 

The museum was a maze of different rooms and hallways, connecting in strange ways, or maybe I just kept getting lost in the dark. Thats what was so exciting about it though, mazes of darkness and then suddenly a giant eye of red and white spirals open up in the middle of the room, or turning a corner and completely losing sight of yourself in a sea of silver floating lanterns. I entered what can only be described as a disco ball on steroids. Mirrored surfaces everywhere, with digital patterns swirling and twirling like a psychedelic fever dream. I felt like I was trapped in a giant kaleidoscope, and I couldn't tell where the art ended and my sanity began.

Of course, most of these are projections onto the walls, ceiling, object, and my own body. But the most impressive part was how it read my movements. If I so much as took a breath near a lantern, its color softly changed then returned. When I sat on the mounded hills, I could comb my fingers through the digitized grass and it would move as if I was sitting in real grass on a cute little picnic. I felt like I was a kid in a candy store - prancing around rushing waves and completely surrounded by hundreds of butterflies. 

Did I learn anything educational at this museum? Of course not. But I did leave with my sanity and a new love for immersive art. 

Until next time, diary.

Xoxo, 

Maria
