About this listen

 For the last ten years, Arts at CERN has fostered dialogue between art and physics at the world’s largest physics laboratory. This podcast brings together artists and physicists who met at the Laboratory to discuss some of the themes that inspire their scientific research and artistic practices.

At CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, scientists probe the fundamental constituents of matter. In 2012, the arts programme of CERN welcomed its first artist in residence. Since then, artists have been invited to CERN to experience how fundamental science pursues the unknown questions about our universe. Join the conversations to find out more about how art and physics collide at the home of the Large Hadron Collider.CERN Art Physics Science

    S1 Ep1: Extra Dimensions: Julius von Bismarck & Michael Doser
    May 30 2022
    Ten years ago, Julius von Bismarck was the first artist in residence at CERN. In his work, he explores the way humans perceive natural phenomena and experiments with scientific perspectives. Michael Doser is an experimental physicist at CERN with expertise in antimatter research.
    Together, they discuss the experience of artists at CERN, how physicists peer into the nature of reality and Julius’ upcoming commission for CERN’s Science Gateway, which is inspired by the possibility of a four-dimensional space.
    The conversation is hosted by Mónica Bello, Curator and Head of Arts at CERN.
    Arts at CERN is made by Reduced Listening. The producer for this episode is Georgia Moodie, and the executive producer is Jack Howson.

  • S1 Ep2: Nature: John Ellis & Semiconductor

    S1 Ep2: Nature: John Ellis & Semiconductor
    Jun 8 2022
    Artist duo Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt) first came to CERN in 2015. During their time in the lab, they explored the material nature of our physical world and how we experience it through the lenses of science and technology. Joining them in conversation is theoretical physicist John Ellis, with whom they have collaborated.
    Together, they explore Semiconductor’s artworks resulting from their time at CERN – the large scale installation HALO and the film The View from Nowhere – the use of data as artistic material and the limits of scientific research.
    The conversation is hosted by Ana Prendes, Communications and Content Producer at Arts at CERN.
