19 Ways That Art and the LHC Open a Portal to Physics [Interactive]
The collider has inspired artists to create works about the Higgs boson, antimatter and the workings of the machine itself. Explore the interface between art and science in this interactive from researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Stockholm University
Scientists often find that art is a means to bring new light to their observations.
Artists observe the world through eyes specially attuned to nature; their imagination and creativity bring new light to these observations.
These parallel processes have brought artists and physicists together in multiple ways.
This synergy is particularly true in an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) called the ATLAS Experiment. The study of particles emerging from the collisions of protons inside ATLAS is expected to reveal secrets to understanding the nature of our universe. All this happens deep inside an apparatus that is 25 meters tall and twice as long in a huge cavern 100 meters underground.
