Audiovisual installation: Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis is a light sculpture and sound composition inspired by a temporary visible phenomenon of nature. Produced by FinnAgora, the light sculpture is situated in front of the Gellért Hill Waterfall and can be seen between 3-6 December.

Sound atmosphere is created by Kasperi Laine, one of the most recognized Finnish sound designers. Kasperi Laine is a renowed rapper, producer and DJ. He was awarded the Finnish National Prize ”Suomi” in 2016.
