Artist Xavier Cortada worked with physicist Pete Markowitz of Florida International University to create these banners, part of an installation on the voluminous collisions recorded by the CMS experiment in the search of the Higgs boson.
Fermilab artist in residence Lindsay Olson created textile works for the Art@CMS exhibit at Fermilab. Collaborating with CMS scientist Don Lincoln of Fermilab, she used dyed textiles, embroidery and other techniques to express her understanding of particle discoveries, measurements and the business of scientific inquiry.
Brandon Shimkus, a student at Marmion Academy in Aurora, Illinois, created this sculpture after a day-long intensive interacting with physicists and artists. Each side of the cube represents a different aspect of scientific inquiry.
Artist and CMS scientist Michael Hoch discusses his photographs with local high school students in the Fermilab Art Gallery, currently exhibiting Art@CMS.
Erik Ramberg, Fermilab physicist, gives an overview on the big ideas in particle physics for students as part of the Science&Art@School outreach event at Fermilab. Scientists Bonnie King, Marty Murphy and Brian Nord also spoke to the students about their scientific and artistic pursuits. Fermilab artist in residence Lindsay Olson interacted with the students about creating something tangible from abstract ideas.
Artist and CMS scientist Michael Hoch and CERN photographer Maximilien Brice created this life-size picture of the CMS detector to hang in the atrium of Wilson Hall at Fermilab. It is the centerpiece of the Art@CMS exhibit showing at Fermilab.
