In connection with Nobel Week Lights 2023, NAVET, SKH, and Fellonica Film AB are glad to invite you to a workshos on light pollution. The session is related to Costanza Julia Bani's artistic research and multimedia project “ Circadia, Too Loud and Too Bright ” and the Nobel Week Lights Installation " Circadian Waves: Resonances ."
The intense rise in nighttime brightness isn’t solely due to population increase; cheaper technology has led to a huge surge in light pollution over the past two decades. The overuse of light at night not only diminishes the way we connect to the night sky but it affects the environment, it affects all other animals, it affects plant pollination and insect activity. 70% of all species are nocturnal, they are more active at night. So light pollution is stealing the night habitats, and it is impacting their survival and we need these species for our survival. In this workshop, you will experience, listen to – and reflect on the representation of light pollution through the arts.
