A static projection illustrating the integrated and mutual relationship between academia, development, production, and global health. The artwork shows how these four areas are inextricably linked and how their interaction is crucial to achieving progress that benefits world health.
None of them can function on their own; rather, they depend on each other to create a whole that drives innovation and improves quality of life globally. Academia provides the foundational research and knowledge needed to develop new solutions. Through the business sector, this knowledge is transformed into practical innovations, and production ensures they are efficiently manufactured and distributed.
The collective work leads to tangible improvements in people’s lives worldwide. Through a visual narrative, the artwork ties together these different elements and emphasizes the importance of collaboration in improving global health, where each step in the process is vital to achieving success.
Lightspray Visual (Fényszóró Visual) is an artist group from Hungary that began working with analog light art in 2010. Their main practice involves placing paintings on old overhead projectors, where high-intensity lamps color buildings or monumental surfaces. The paintings can create an effect similar to a moving sculpture, but on a massive scale. This makes both the projected image and the projector itself an exciting installation. They are heavily influenced by contemporary street art, steampunk, and science fiction.
The light installation is presented by Cytiva, which works to ensure that everyone has access to advanced medicines and treatments that improve people’s health. Through their involvement in Allt ljus på Uppsala (All the Lights on Uppsala), they want to demonstrate the importance of education, research, development, and production—and how the ecosystem in Uppsala contributes significantly to making a difference for global health.
