Nobel Week Lights 2021. Nobel Week Lights will take place in Stockholm for the second year during the Nobel Week. Inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded discoveries and laureates, stunning artworks will light up the darkness this December.
This year’s artists and designers explore some of science’s biggest innovations and create stunning light art installations. Creativity and technology will inspire new ideas and curiosity, and let us reimagine the urban environment around us.
B12 is a light sculpture inspired by the British chemist Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910-1994), who received the 1964 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The sculpture is an interpretation of the complex molecule whose structure was discovered by Crowfoot Hodgkin through the use of X-ray Crystallography. B12, or cyanocobalamin as it is also known, is a vitamin that not only keeps nerve and blood cells healthy but has a vital function in the creation of genetic material, DNA. The placement, partly submerged into the water at the southern shore of Skeppsholmen is not coincidental; water is a condition for life, B12 is a water-soluble vitamin and Stockholm is a city that rests on water.
The sculpture itself is a hollow space made by rebars welded together and electroluminescent light wires. The configuration shows the lines connecting the components of the molecular shape. To make visible what is below the surface also becomes a political act – a tribute to all the underrepresented Nobel laureates of a gender other than male.

This year’s artists and designers explore some of science’s biggest innovations and create stunning light art installations. Creativity and technology will inspire new ideas and curiosity, and let us reimagine the urban environment around us.The installation at Stockholm School of Economics (Handelshögskolan) is inspired by Bertil Ohlin and James E. Meade who in 1977 jointly won the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel “for their pathbreaking contribution to the theory of international trade and international capital movements.”
To make international trade work, it’s not enough that money and goods exchange hands. It also requires us to make connections to people in other countries. In this way, business relationships in a global world can make us understand each other better.
The light-art installation is intended to show the ties between people, countries, and cultures. The nodes shine like stars and guide us to meet in the dark.
Bertil Ohlin graduated from Stockholm School of Economics, and later on served as a professor in economics there between 1929-1965. He is one of the most well-known professors at the school.
