Circadian Waves: Resonances – Nobel Week Lights

Nobel Week Lights is a festival lighting up Stockholm during the darkest time of the year – a cultural experience every day 2-10 December at 16-22.

The artwork Circadian Waves: Resonances combines light and sound, inspired by the Nobel Prize awarded research into our bodies' internal clocks. Scientists Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young were awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their "discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm".

Through this light and sound installation, the audience can experience the shifts between light and darkness, sound and silence in the middle of an urban environment, resonating with our internal, lost rhythms.
