MINERVA/COLORVISION In memory of the Finnish Nobel Prize winner Ragnar Granit. The goal of this project is a site-specific audiovisual performance with video-mapped projections and ambient music. It will take place in The Finnish Church in Stockholm during the Nobel Week Lights in December 2025. The project is a collaboration between Tanja La Luna Jørgensen and Finnish audiovisual artist "Mike" Mikael Södergrann. In order to investigate the relationship between projected light and ambient music, both church organ, piano and electronic instruments such as synthesizers and drum machines will be used as a control signal for shaping the video projection. Shapes and colors in the video projection will then be triggered in real time by the frequencies of the sound, to achieve harmony between sound and image. The project aims to explore the technology in such a system in order to develop and handle it in a concert context during a performance. The aim is also to investigate the spiritual place with regard to architecture and acoustics and study its influence on decisions in an artistic process with a site-specific audiovisual work. The performance is intended to be designed with inspiration from Finnish Nobel Prize winner Ragnar Granit's basic research on the eye's color vision, where electromagnetic wavelengths in the light spectrum are converted via the eye's cones and rods into electrical impulses for the brain to interpret. In a similar way, one could use electrical control signals generated by the waveforms of the sound to manipulate the appearance of the image which is then projected onto the surfaces of the room. The project is funded by Bertil and Britt Svensson Foundation for Lighting Technology. |

| The Swahn organ, built in 1792, by Olof Swahn. During the years 1861—1867, Elfrida Andrée was employed as organist in the Finnish Congregation. She was Europe's first female cathedral organist and Sweden's first female telegrapher. | ||
