In 1985, NASA sent toys into space through the Toys in Space project — an experiment designed to spark children’s curiosity about physics by showing how tops, yo-yos, and balls behave in zero gravity. Forty years later, that same spirit of wonder continues to inspire us — reminding us that science and the joy of discovery often begin with a simple question: What happens if…? Pixel Planet carries this idea forward. It’s a vibrant, interactive light installation where visitors come together to build a glowing universe, pixel by pixel. With every person who takes part, the artwork grows and transforms — a living reminder that small actions, when shared, can create something extraordinary. Here, the line between audience and artwork disappears. Every visitor leaves a trace of light behind, and Pixel Planet is never complete — it comes to life anew every night. It’s a celebration of curiosity and change, and a reminder that the future isn’t something that simply happens — it’s something we create together, one pixel at a time.
Super Idée is a French artist collective that creates large-scale, interactive light installations inspired by science, play, and the curiosity of childhood. They explore how people can come together around light, movement, and imagination – and how art can become a space for discovery. In the works Pixel Planet and Helicoled, simple actions grow into something greater. The audience is not just a spectator, but an active part of the artwork. Every movement influences the whole – and each participant helps shape the outcome. Super Idée aims to show that art can be both accessible and profound. A place where people of all ages meet, play, and explore – and where change happens together.
Cytiva lights up the future with science and curiosity. Through the light works Pixel Planet and Helicoled, the company aims to inspire children and young people to embrace the joy of discovery. Change often begins with a simple question – and with play, imagination, and research, tomorrow’s solutions can take shape.
