CERN welcomes its first artist in residence
CERN welcomes its first artist in residence. Geneva, 12 March 2012. Creative collisions have begun at CERN 1 with the arrival of Julius von Bismarck as the laboratory's first Collide@CERN artist in residence. A rising star of the international arts scene, von Bismarck will team up with theoretical physicist James Wells as he works alongside the lab's engineers and scientists for the next two months before moving to the Ars Electronica Centre 2 in Linz, Austria for the second part of his residency. Von Bismarck and Wells will give a public presentation in CERN's Globe of Science and Innovation on 21 March. Doors open at 6.45pm. "Particle physics and the arts are natural partners, both explore our place in the universe and both examine what it is to be human," said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer.
