*Timée* is an immersive audiovisual installation by French artist Guillaume Marmin, inspired by Plato’s dialogue *Timaeus*, which explores the ancient concept of the Music of the Spheres. According to this concept, the distances between planets correspond to harmonious musical intervals, and the entire Solar System is organized like a perfect score, divided into the octave, fifth, fourth, and tone.

In creating the installation, Marmin and Philippe Gordiani collaborated with the Astrophysics Research Center in Lyon. *Timée* combines sound, projections, light, and smoke, creating an ephemeral space built from beams of light and spatial sound waves.

The installation can be viewed in the lower gallery of Apteka Designu, in the new creative district of Wesoła in Kraków.
