Collide@CERN

Ryoji Ikeda (JP) is this year’s Prix Ars Electronica Collide@CERN-winner. The first part of his residency at CERN in July has been a completely new experience for him and provided him with loads of new perspectives, impressions, data, and experiences. It is an extremely rare occasion to have this outstanding artist talking about his art and experiences as he always wants to have his art speaking and not him. Though visitors will have a unique chance to see and hear him talk. His inspiration partner at CERN, Tom Melia (UK), a CERN physicist, will also talk about the collision of art and science, his work as theoretical physicist and how this collision affected him. Ariane Koek (UK), creator of Collide@CERN, Horst Hörtner (AT) and Claudia Schnugg (AT) will shortly introduce the program.
