From December 12, 2024 to July 13, 2025, La Gaité Lyrique in Paris presents Pulse, a new sound and light installation by 1024 Architecture. Immerse yourself in a universe where light becomes living matter, and interact with multisensory works for a unique experience combining art, sound and technology. The exhibition is currently closed, and no date has been set for its reopening.

Due to a labor dispute over the eviction of 400 homeless youths in Paris, the Gaîté Lyrique is temporarily closed, as is the Pulse exhibition. The exhibition is due to reopen shortly.

An exhibition in the rhythm of light and sound... La Gaité Lyrique invites you to discover theimmersive Pulseexhibition, from December 12, 2024 to July 13, 2025. Conceived by studio 1024 Architecture, this installation plunges visitors into a universe where light, gaming and sound merge to offer a multisensory experience that hijacks the codes of electro music.

Through a series of light and sound works, 1024 Architecture transforms light into a veritable sculptural material. The exhibition is a playground where the curious - and especially families, as the experience is also designed for children - are invited to manipulate and interact with the installations. One example is CORE, a monumental piece set to light and music, with a six-hour soundtrack imagined by Laurent Garnier. "Light becomes a living, visual material," explain the creators.

This sensory voyage also offers a number of surprising installations, such as METACHRONAL, a moving centipede of light, or WALKING CUBE, a metal cube that teaches you to dance. Theexhibition also mixes video games and music, with collaborative creations such as PUPPET, an interactive synthesizer, or PLAYGROUND, a video game that invites visitors to explore a digital world.

DJ sets will punctuate Pulse, transforming the Gaité Lyrique into a veritable club. All your senses will vibrate at the heart of this avant-garde installation.
