Pixel Zoo Ocean: When the swimming pool becomes a glowing ocean
Starting from September 18, 2026, Pixel Zoo Ocean will bring an immersive 360° light show to the das Stadtwerk.Hallenbad, transforming the empty swimming hall into a digital aquarium. The production by PROJEKTIL and Die Kulturoptimisten guides visitors through the deep sea, kelp forests, and coral reefs – accompanied by an interactive visual world that makes the space completely re-experiencable. The exhibition runs until January 10, 2027, and is aimed at families, art lovers, and anyone seeking immediate art experiences in digital form.

Immersive art in an unusual exhibition space
The swimming pool on Gabelsbergerstraße is not just used as a venue; it becomes part of the work itself. PROJEKTIL describes its work as a spatial journey of light, sound, storytelling, and emotion; this connection shapes Pixel Zoo Ocean as well. Where swimming lanes were once drawn, an exhibition atmosphere emerges, in which projections transform walls, ceilings, and pool edges into a moving underwater landscape.

From the open ocean to the digital aquarium
The exhibition leads through different marine habitats: from the open ocean to the coral reef and into the dark zones of the deep sea. Especially noteworthy is the interactive section, where guests can create their own sea creatures and release them into a digital aquarium. Thus, the exhibition combines sensory perception with playful cultural education. ([lichtshow-regensburg.de](https://www.lichtshow-regensburg.de/))
A place with history, read anew
The das Stadtwerk.Hallenbad is a familiar place for Regensburg, but has been temporarily closed since mid-2025. This situation enhances the allure of the presentation: The building does not just serve as a backdrop, but tells a second story as an empty body that is acoustically and spatially present. The light show leverages this architecture with great precision, linking memory, presence, and digital spatial art. ([lichtshow-regensburg.de](https://www.lichtshow-regensburg.de/))
Visitor information, ticket purchase, and accessibility
Pixel Zoo Ocean lasts approximately 60 minutes, including the interactive part. Tickets are available online as well as through the Tourist Information Regensburg; if there is availability, tickets are also available at the box office. Access to the swimming pool and swimming hall is barrier-free, but the pool itself is accessed via stairs. Photography and filming without flash and tripod is permitted for non-commercial purposes.

Conclusion: Pixel Zoo Ocean offers an impressive interplay of immersive light art, architectural spatial feeling, and family-friendly discovery in Regensburg. Anyone who values digital exhibition formats with depth should not miss this art experience in the swimming pool. ([lichtshow-regensburg.de](https://www.lichtshow-regensburg.de/))
