Arts at CERN

Arts at CERN

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.
