Tatsuo Miyajima
Japanese · b. 1957
Miyajima creates immersive LED installations featuring endlessly repeating numerical sequences that evoke infinity, cosmic cycles, and Buddhist philosophy, sharing Kusama's obsessive repetition, spiritual transcendence, and enveloping light environments.
teamLab
Japanese · b. 2001
teamLab produces large scale immersive digital installations filled with luminous, repeating abstract forms that dissolve boundaries between viewer and universe, directly echoing Kusama's infinity rooms, celestial imagery, and the philosophical dissolution of self into endless space.
Olafur Eliasson
Danish Icelandic · b. 1967
Eliasson constructs immersive installation environments using mirrors, light, and geometric repetition to create perceptually overwhelming spaces that blur self and cosmos, closely mirroring Kusama's infinity rooms in their capacity to induce awe, disorientation, and transcendence through radical immersion.
