Colorvision

In memory of the Finnish Nobel laureate Ragnar Granit

Abstract

As an intrinsic case study [1] on audiovisual performances as research method on audiovisuality, the performance COLORVISION is developed to investigate the relationship between projected light and ambient music in a live performance. How the theme and the artistic expression of the concert and its technical solutions is inspired by circumstances surrounding the project is examined with inspiration from Willims artprobes [2] in combination with autoethnographical diary entries [3,4], circumstances such as being part of the festival Nobel Week Lights and the concert taking place in the Finnish church in Old Town Stockholm having an impact on artistic choices during the creative process. The intention with this study is to investigate and further develop research questions and methods for artistic and/or scientific research that can be used in both education, research and artistic performances. It is also a study on abstract audiovisual narrative structure and storytelling and the search for light and spirituality in dark times.
