One innovation this year is that the Royal Palace will feature an artistic light installation. British artist Luke Jerram\u2019s luminous globe \u201cGaia\u201d will be visible in the Southern Archway. The installation is one of several that have been designed to inspire awe for the planet we live on and to encourage environmental awareness.<\/p>\n
The fa\u00e7ade of Stockholm City Hall displays \u201cConscience\u201d, an artwork that follows the spirit of peace on a journey through scenes of human consciousness, nature, urgent climate crisis, fantastic discoveries and hope. The artists at Atelier BK were inspired by a range of different Nobel Prize laureates, with an emphasis on achievements that are addressing climate change and working towards peace.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","galley":[{"ID":27901,"id":27901,"title":"A7_07953","filename":"A7_07953.jpg","filesize":2763103,"url":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/en\/illuminated-seesaws-and-a-magnificent-globe-the-light-festival-is-fully-under-way\/a7_07953\/","alt":"","author":"9","description":"","caption":"Photo\/foto: Beno\u00eet Derrier.","name":"a7_07953","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":27896,"date":"2022-12-14 09:22:30","modified":"2022-12-14 09:22:59","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2000,"height":1333,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953-1024x682.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":682,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953.jpg","2048x2048-width":2000,"2048x2048-height":1333,"380x305":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07953.jpg","380x305-width":570,"380x305-height":380}},{"ID":27903,"id":27903,"title":"A7_07932","filename":"A7_07932.jpg","filesize":1554912,"url":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/en\/illuminated-seesaws-and-a-magnificent-globe-the-light-festival-is-fully-under-way\/a7_07932\/","alt":"","author":"9","description":"","caption":"Photo\/fotoBeno\u00eet Derrier.","name":"a7_07932","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":27896,"date":"2022-12-14 09:23:11","modified":"2022-12-14 09:26:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2000,"height":1333,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932-1024x682.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":682,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932.jpg","2048x2048-width":2000,"2048x2048-height":1333,"380x305":"https:\/\/wp.nobelprizemuseum.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A7_07932.jpg","380x305-width":570,"380x305-height":380}}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","text_block":"
The artwork \u201cWAVE-FIELD\u201d on Karl den XII:s torg (Charles XII Square) was inspired by balance, seriality and the way that weight, regardless of size, affects movement. This relates to the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, which was awarded to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald for \u201cthe discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass\u201d. The artwork was created by CS Design, Lateral Office and Mitchell Akiyama.<\/p>\n
Outside the Grand H\u00f4tel, Alexander Wolfe has created the installation \u201cKinesthesia\u201d. Wolfe was inspired by the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which was awarded to Ardem Patapoutian and David Julius for\u201ctheir discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch\u201d.<\/p>\n
