Arts at CERN is the leading art and science programme fostering the dialogue between artists and physicists
Open Call for Entries
Deadline 10th of December
Collide Pro Helvetia residency award is an artistic residency opportunity for a Swiss artist to carry out artistic research in intense dialog and exchange with scientists, engineers and staff at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research in Geneva.
What is the universe made of? How did it start? Physicists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, are seeking answers using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.
The winner of the Collide Pro Helvetia Award 2015 was the collective fragment.in, formed by (from left to right) Simon de Diesbach, Laura Perrenoud, and Marc Dubois. They're a Swiss-based interaction design studio who creates innovative projects, interactive installations, video and game design.
