CERN has just announced its collaboration with the world-renowned cultural organisation Ars Electronica, appropriately themed “Origins”.
Part of the policy is a forthcoming artist residency programme. Seeking out projects that are inspired by the research taking place at the facility, there will be two Collide@CERN residencies in different artistic disciplines in the first year of the programme. The unifying factor will be the calibre of the projects, says Koek. “CERN scientists are selected for their excellence and brilliance. The idea is that we also do some selective arts activity.”
