Join us in Shanghai on October 30 for Lux Futurum Forum 2025 with keynote speaker Daan Roosegaarde. Discover his Landscapes of the Future, where design, sustainability, and technology shape a more innovative and resilient world.

When was the last time you saw fireflies? In Bali, Roosegaarde spent three years nurturing their return. Once abundant across rice fields, their glow had nearly vanished. Through a collaboration with local Balinese and a dedicated breeding program in the private FiREFLY GARDEN, these luminous guardians have come back to life, shot under red light invisible to them.

In Bali, Roosegaarde’s FIREFLY GARDEN revives fireflies through a 3-year breeding program. The film Return of the Fireflies, premiering this October, has gained international acclaim, winning Best Microfilm at Touchstone USA, Short Film Award at Bracciano Italy, Outstanding Achievement at Sundarban India, and Finalist at International Film Festival The Hague. It is also officially selected for festivals in Kyoto, Mexico, Indonesia, Sweden, and New York.

Our new WATERLICHT arrives in Bilbao with waves of blue light, an immersive experience at Itsasmuseum in Spain highlighting the beauty of living with water and the reality of rising sea levels caused by climate change. Join us 18–20 September, 21:30–00:00. Free entrance.

Daan Roosegaarde will deliver a visionary closing keynote at the Dubai Congress for Self‑Driving Transport 2025 on 25 September, exploring the intersection of art, technology, and mobility.

SPARK reimagines fireworks for a new era — biodegradable lights drift silently across the night sky. No loud bangs. No frightened dogs. Only wonder. “My dog goes crazy during traditional fireworks,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde. “So I wondered: how can we celebrate differently? That was the beginning of SPARK."

Our paths of glow-in-the-dark rocks are charged by the sun. As night falls, they come alive with a soft, radiant glow — guiding you home.
