Nobel Week Lights

Through this light and sound installation, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of bioluminescence by exploring and interacting with a multisensory space with their body, becoming bioluminescent themselves.

The artwork Luciferin is inspired by the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Y. Tsien for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP.

The installation invites the audience to discover their curiosity and raises questions on exploring the unknown. The audience is called to communicate with the site, which in turn answers with ever-changing combinations of music, sound, and light. Bioluminescence is a powerful survival strategy. Sometimes it deters, sometimes it attracts.

The installation is created by students at SKH, and is a project within KTH NAVET Center, a multidisciplinary research hub. Luciferin is created in collaboration with Costanza Julia Bani’s artistic research project All what Flickers and Glows.
