COLORVISION

In memory of the Finnish Nobel Prize laureate 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 Nobel Week Lights 2026 and is a further development of last year's concerts performed during NWL 2025. The project is a collaboration between Tanja La Luna Jørgensen and Finnish audiovisual artist Mikael "Mike" Södergrann.

The performance is inspired by Finnish Nobel Prize laureate Ragnar Granit's research on the eye's color vision, where specific electromagnetic wavelengths in the light spectrum are converted via the eye's cones and rods into electrical impulses for the brain to interpret. Similarly we will use electrical control signals generated in real time by the waveforms of our music to manipulate the appearance of the image, which is then projected onto the surfaces of the room. The project aims to explore the technology in such a system to develop methods to handle it in a concert context during a performance. Thereto it aims at investigating spiritual values with inspiration drawn from Ragnar Granit's poetic formulations on how the eye is reached by light quanta from outer space, and also his thoughts about the secret of discovery, about the ability to wonder and to be amazed.

The project is funded by Bertil and Britt Svensson Foundation for Lighting Technology.

The Swahn organ in the Finnish Church in Stockholm
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.
