teamlab Biovortex Kyoto Set To Open This Fall
Summary Opening this fall, teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will be the latest permanent immersive art museum by the acclaimed collectiveteamLab. Located nearKyotoStation, the museum is part of the city's broader urban revitalization initiative. This project aims to establish a dynamic cultural and creative hub, fostering a new synergy around art, youth, and innovation. The concept behind 'Biovortex' suggests a swirling center of life and interconnectedness, themes deeply resonant with teamLab's artistic philosophy. Among the highlighted installations, 'Massless Amorphous Sculpture' stands out as a floating, shape-shifting entity, composed of foam-like material that maintains its form even when people enter it. This piece embodies teamLab's exploration of masslessness, creating a seamless blend of digital and tangible elements. The immersive journey continues with other key works designed to challenge perception. 'Massless Suns and Dark Suns' presents a constellation of glowing orbs that shift based on human presence. As visitors widen their perception, dark spheres emerge, existing solely within the viewer's cognitive reality, making each experience uniquely personal. Another installation, 'Morphing Continuum,' is designed to stretch across both space and time, continuously regenerating as visitors immerse themselves within it. Additionally, 'Traces of Life' offers an interactive experience where visitors' movements create ephemeral trails, symbolizing the interconnectedness of individuals within the art space. Unlike teamLab Planets Tokyo or teamLab Borderless, which feature seasonal themes, teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will showcase a rotating selection of immersive works, ensuring a constantly evolving experience for returning visitors.

Dale Thomas ‘confident' Matt Rowell will re-sign with Gold Coast despite rival clubs' interest
Collingwood and Carlton champion Dale Thomas has declared in-demand Gold Coast midfielder Matt Rowell will turn his back on rival offers to re-sign with the Suns. Rowell is one of the AFL's most high-profile players out of contract at the end of 2025, and already met with at least one other club, Geelong, before the season started. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Matt Rowell closing in on deal with Gold Coast. The 2019 No.1 draft pick has been crucial to the Suns' rise up the ladder this season, and they will be desperate to hang on to him as they try to become a finals contender for the first time in the club's history. Speaking to The Agenda Setters on Tuesday night, 7NEWS Melbourne's Mitch Cleary said the Suns remain uneasy about their prospects of keeping him. 'The nervousness is growing,' Cleary said. 'I think six weeks ago, they were very confident that he would stay on a two-year deal, which would take him to free agency. 'The Suns play Fremantle this week and then Geelong after that, then they've got the bye. 'If he's not signed a week or two after the bye, I think it is alarm bells at Gold Coast around Matt Rowell, with a number of Victorian clubs circling.' Thomas said he had no doubt Rowell would remain at Gold Coast. 'He'll sign a couple of weeks after the bye. Very confident,' Thomas said. Rowell was drafted alongside high school best mate Noah Anderson, who was taken with the next pick after Rowell at No.2. Anderson last year signed a contract that ties him to the club until the end of 2027, at which point he will reach free agency, and is the captain of the club. Speaking after the Suns' win over St Kilda on Sunday, Anderson said he was doing his best to make sure his mate stays. 'As a little pair, we're helping the team win,' he said. 'I'm doing my best (to convince Rowell to stay). Hopefully the wins can help out a little bit, but he's in a good spot.' Suns CEO Mark Evans told SEN they have looked at the model of other clubs like Sydney to work on player retention. 'I think Sydney have had the model that might work well; they seem to put their salary cap into the players that are the most important, and sometimes that means someone a bit further down gets squeezed,' he said. 'I think we're going to face some of those issues.'

Suns to demand AFL answers over 'manhandled' forwards
Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick intends to have a "very strong conversation" with the AFL umpiring department after accusing St Kilda of manhandling his key forwards. Ben King, Jed Walter and Ethan Read managed just three goals between them in the Suns' 12.8 (80) to 8.13 (61) win at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Coleman Medal contender King didn't have a kick for three quarters, kept quiet by Callum Wilkie, but finished with two important goals in the final term. Walter kicked one major from nine disposals and Read was scoreless from five touches before being subbed out in the third quarter. Hardwick admitted his charges were down on form against the Saints but wasn't happy with what he perceived as unfair treatment by opposition defenders. "There'll be a very strong conversation coming from my coaching panel to the umpiring fraternity this week," Hardwick said. "We didn't get a hell of a lot of reward for our one-on-one contests. "You can sit there and you want an even battle, and we understand that, but I thought our guys were manhandled all day today. "They're young and they're inexperienced, so they'll get better at handling it, but they've also got to be given a fair chance." Hardwick's demands from the umpiring department will be straightforward. "Just some clarification around what we can and can't do, but more importantly how our players can combat it," he said. "Like, what do you want to see from our guys? "We don't want them to play for free kicks but we also want them to be able to run and jump at the ball." Hardwick intends to keep playing the three talls together in attack, with the Suns next meeting a Fremantle side set to be without key defender Alex Pearce through suspension. "We understand they're going to have ups and downs," Hardwick said. "There's two teenagers there and Kingy, who's plying his craft. I thought he kicked some really important goals late (against St Kilda). "But they'll learn from it, they'll grow from it and we've got to remember they're 19 years of age. "There's not many other clubs around the AFL that are playing two 19-year-old key forwards. They're going to be wonderful players for a long period of time for us."

Rockets reportedly interested in Antetokounmpo, but not so much trades for Booker, Durant, Zion
It's a big summer in Houston. This is a 52-win Rockets team that took a big step forward this season behind an entertaining and athletic young core led by Alperen Sengun, Amem Thompson and Jalen Green. Houston had the fourth-ranked defense in the league, but the playoffs highlighted how much this team needs an elite bucket getter to spark their half-court offense. Houston has the picks and young players available to assemble a blockbuster trade to get that player. Advertisement Just don't expect it to be the Suns' Kevin Durant or Devin Booker, and the same is true of the Pelicans' Zion Williamson, reports Kelly Iko and Sam Amick of The Athletic. While Durant is widely seen as the most attainable of that group, and he is known to be very interested in playing in Houston, team sources said the Rockets still have significant reservations about that possible partnership, in large part, because Durant's age (36) would be so out of sync with their younger timeline. It's worth noting that previous talks between the teams about Durant, team sources said, were initiated by the Suns. The Rockets have previously held serious interest in the Suns' Devin Booker, but team sources said that is no longer the case. Not only do team officials still have faith in Jalen Green, who is five years younger than Booker and $66 million cheaper over the next three seasons, but also Booker's struggles last season shifted the thinking on this front. As for Williamson, who has spent the majority of his first six seasons falling short of expectations while experiencing health issues along the way, team sources said the Rockets see him as too risky. Durant to Houston is not completely off the table, but it's only happening if the trade is a complete steal for the Rockets, league sources told NBC Sports. As for Booker, the Rockets may have soured on him slightly, but the Suns have also made it clear from the highest levels of the organization that he is not available. That may have something to do with the Rockets' stance. Advertisement Which leaves Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will sit down with the Milwaukee Bucks front office in the coming weeks and discuss his and the team's future. He reportedly is open to considering a trade, the first time he has been truly serious about that in his 12-year NBA career. The Rockets are certainly interested, according to the report, but know the price to land the 30-year-old two-time MVP would be high in terms of players and picks (and one of those players likely would be Sengun, who is not a natural fit next to Antetokounmpo). That said, if Antetokounmpo hits the market, the Rockets will jump into the mix and could put together an offer that would be hard for Milwaukee to turn down. With all those moving parts, the Rockets and Fred VanVleet agreed to push back the date Houston has to decide on his $44.9 million team option to June 29 — after the draft and close enough to the start of free agency that Houston will have a much better read on the Antetokounmpo situation, as well as other free agents. VanVleet has said he wants to return to the Rockets, and they want him back, but at the right price, and he could be the veteran ball handler not brought back (or sent somewhere else) in a massive trade. While the Rockets will be at the heart of the offseason trade rumors, GM Raphael Stone has made it clear he would be perfectly happy to run it back with the 52-win team from this season and see how big a step forward they take after this year's experiences. Don't be shocked if that is the ultimate outcome.
