teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, Computer Graphics animators, mathematicians and architects whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world.

teamLab aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new perceptions through art. In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perception of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity. teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary, and Ikkan Art International.

This will be achieved by providing members with industry-specific guidelines and practical tools including a carbon calculator to measure emissions.

Since launching, GCC has become an international organisation with a membership of over 400. It is in the process of establishing several strategic regional groups, the first being in Berlin and London. Conversations about setting up further groups are in progress.
