“Everything is connected”
Countless connections sustain life in its many forms. We exist within a complex web of visible and invisible connections, often unable to assess the consequences of changes therein.
Everything is connected, but how well do we understand this? Can we still see and experience things that happen around us? Are we able to perceive the effects of our actions?
Nordic Butterflies is an impressive piece featuring five large butterflies inspired by Finnish species. The work includes a common blue, a small tortoiseshell, a peacock butterfly, an Old World swallowtail, and a rarer visitor in the nature of Finland, an African death’s-head hawkmoth. Biodiversity has decreased by almost thirty per cent since 1970. The world is constantly losing a lot of its beauty, and the artists seek to highlight this through their work.
Translucens is a holographic piece projected onto a water curtain. The artwork merges theoretical mathematical constructs, such as a tesseract, also known as a four-dimensional hypercube, with water and other biological elements. This results in a constantly evolving series of visuals where images dissolve into one another. This technology generates the Kuleshov effect, wherein viewers piece together a storyline from individual images in their minds.
Learning Colors is an educational project that allows spectators to explore how the colour of light influences our perception of colour. Kola’s project includes two large AI-generated images with strong colour contrasts built into their design. The colours of the images stay the same, but the gradual change in the colour of lights constantly transforms both the contrast and the multi-dimensional quality of the visuals.
Step into the heart of the ballet of lights!
Step into the Light is the largest installation in this year’s Path of Light, and its brilliance is visible from afar. It is a fascinating ballet of lights inspired by Pink Floyd’s iconic vertical circle truss. The kaleidoscope of beams creates beautiful and complex patterns that you can admire from different angles.
The Alchemy of Atmospheres celebrates the power of nature and unlimited imagination. It challenges viewers to reflect on the powers of the universe and the true character of the world. Originally, the artist designed this sci-fi-style artwork to represent the transformation of Venus from a planet similar to Earth into an uninhabitable environment. Simultaneously, it symbolises the various dynamic energies present in the universe.
What kind of text is worth reading? What kind of text is worth keeping? Did the introduction of text messaging mark a regression in written language, or herald its golden age? What about the development of AI-generated text?
The world is changing, and texts are evolving along with it. Lorem Ipsum, an artwork by Hämeenlinna-based light artist Immanuel Pax, inspires viewers to reflect on the uniqueness and significance of texts written by humans. The title, Lorem Ipsum, refers to meaningless placeholder text.
Flower Power discusses the impact and role of popular movements in democratic decision-making. It emphasises how the bold efforts of one individual can transform into a widespread and noteworthy social movement that can extend across the globe. In the 1960s, the Flower Power slogan was used to oppose war and to encourage people to engage in civic activism. Today, we, as individuals, defend village schools, local nature, old-growth forests and human rights. What popular movement will you start?
Whisper from the Past, a light installation accompanied by an auditory experience, summon the ghosts of Turku’s past. As visitors walk through Cathedral Park, they can see and hear the whispers of ghosts. What are they telling you?

In Finland you pay income tax on your income. The taxation is progressive which means that your tax rate depends on how big is your income. If you come to work in Finland from another country, your taxation depends on how long you will stay in Finland and whether your employer is a Finnish or foreign company.
