This December, the heart of Stockholm will glow a little brighter. As part of Nobel Week Lights 2025, Hyper Island’s Digital Creative students are bringing one of the festival’s largest and most visible installations to life: Astrofield.
Displayed at Sergels torg, Astrofield is a large-scale, interactive light installation inspired by the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star. The work invites visitors to explore how curiosity, imagination, and science can expand our understanding of the universe.
Behind Astrofield lies a powerful collaboration between Hyper Island, Nobel Prize Museum’s pedagogical team, Rymdstyrelsen, ESERO Sverige, and Husbygårdsskolan — where younger students have learned about exoplanets through workshops, created their own imagined worlds, and then seen them transformed into light and form by Hyper Island students.
For Hyper Island, this kind of collaboration is more than a project — it’s part of what we call Learning Partnerships. It’s how organisations, companies, and students come together to solve real challenges, test bold ideas, and make creativity tangible.

– Heidi Rundt, CEO of Hyper Island.
Astrofield will be on display at Sergels torg, December 6–14, from 16:00 to 22:00 every day.
