The three computer-generated animations were made with raw data from the ATLAS detector at CERN
In 2015, the artists participated in a residency at CERN and began to work with data captured by ATLAS, one of the enormous experimental detectors situated within the LHC. The physics performed at ATLAS probes and enhances our current understanding of the building blocks of matter and their interactions, contributing to new theories that better describe our universe.
The artists worked with raw data of particle collision events, the data obtained before any information was added or extracted. When the data is removed from its scientific framework, it becomes a physical form in its own right. Semiconductor explores its use as artistic material. Each animation offers a different perspective of the data, presented on custom-made square screens.
