Finland
Luminous Finland 100 light art ensemble comprised six massive pieces of light art that were exhibited all around Finland during this jubilee year of Finnish independence. Familiar Finnish landmarks, natural diversity and some historical sites were highlighted by light art in an unprecedented way. Luminous Finland 100 was a part of the official jubilee programme of Finnish independence and it was the biggest one of the art concepts. The main sponsor for the light art ensemble was the Prime Minister’s Office in Finland.
The artwork for the Jubilee Year Opening Ceremony in Töölönlahti Bay of Helsinki on 31st December 2016 launched the light art series. Luminous Finland 100 ensemble culminated around the Finnish Independence Day jubilee week, 28th November - 6th December, 2017, when the pieces of light art series were lit one-by-one in Olavinlinna Castle in Savonlinna, Näsinneula Observation Tower in Tampere, Kuusisaari Isle in Oulu, Saana Fell in Kilpisjärvi, and Turku Castle in Turku.
