Echoes of Distant Lights

A laser creation that invites you to a poetic and aesthetic reflection on light, space and time

Temporary exhibition on multiple levels

From 18/12/2024 – Until 04/01/2026

The Atomium is proud to host "Echoes of Distant Lights", a new digital art installation by artist Antoine Goldschmidt from studio Magicstreet. This original creation invites audiences on a visual and auditive journey to the heart of the cosmos, where laser light and sound come together in a unique immersive experience.

Brussels artist Antoine Goldschmidt, founder of the studio Magicstreet, has combined his passion for light with the rich heritage of the Atomium to create a unique experience. In perfect harmony with the metal structure of the Atomium, his creation dialogues with the interior architecture of the monument. Underlining and playing with the edges of the sphere, it seems to come to life, transforming itself into a stellar capsule that takes visitors off into distant universes. Laser beams pass through a suspended glass sculpture, producing organic patterns inspired by celestial landscapes: nebulae, galaxies and distant stars. Light and movement guide visitors through a poetic exploration of time and the universe, where each beam seems to be an echo of vanished worlds. The installation is accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Brussels artist and musician Ofer Smilansky.

“Echoes of Distant Lights” is more than a visual experience; it is a poetic meditation on light, time, and existence. It reminds us of our small place in the universe and invites us to humbly reflect on the interconnectedness of all things. Don’t miss this unique exploration of cosmic wonder at the Atomium.
