Welcome

On Labs Berlin is a space where you can see our latest tech in action. It’s a unique opportunity to experience LightSpray™ – a revolutionary innovation, engineered in Switzerland – and to own the Cloudboom Strike LS. Got three minutes? Watch a robot spray our lightest upper live. Then, hop on a treadmill and feel the future. All while Boris Acket’s artwork Architecting Lightness floats and weaves over your head, embodying the unrivalled lightness of LightSpray™.

And there’s more: up your running game with a free running analysis, enjoy the sounds from our DJs and exclusive guest performers, get creative in our workshops, take part in community workouts, listen to inspiring panel talks, and more.

There’s something for everyone, but this experience is open for a limited time. Don’t miss out. See you there.

You don't need to sign up for specific sessions to visit On Labs Berlin. Just RSVP for one of the event days and join us!

Even if our exclusive sessions are fully booked, there's still plenty to do. You can check out our exhibition (featuring a robot that sprays running shoes), listen to community-led panel talks, try out the Cloudboom Strike LS, get a free running analysis, or experience the artwork of Boris Acket.

Boris Acket

Artist & Composer

Boris Acket is a multidisciplinary artist who combines mediums such as sound, light, and kinetic sculpture to create permanent and impermanent art installations and artworks that explore the interplay between control and surrender in the (natural) world.

His artwork Architecting Lightness at On Labs Berlin transforms the invisible medium of air into a meditative, sculptural environment. Drawing from Acket’s Einder series, the work features a large, semi-transparent textile suspended in space, animated solely by invisible air currents. The wave-like motion follows its internal rhythm—sometimes gentle, sometimes sudden—evoking the interplay between seizing control and releasing it, between the natural and the synthetic.

Walking beneath the work’s slow surges invites you to weave, pause, and navigate along unexpected paths. Each motion of the textile subtly redirects the body, altering the pace and rhythm of your own movement. In this way, the artwork becomes not only an object to observe, but a space to traverse.

This installation delivers on the feeling of weightless performance. In this way, the installation serves as a powerful narrative for On's LightSpray™ technology, which also seeks to achieve ultimate lightness by removing the unnecessary to leave only the pure sensation of running.
