Arts at CERN announces three winning artists and launches the new Collide at CERN Ars Electronica call

Arts at CERN, CERN’s official engagement with the arts, is today announcing three winning art projects from the different strands, Accelerate at CERN and Collide at CERN, as well as launching the international open call for Collide at CERN in digital arts. Now in its fifth year, Arts at CERN has welcomed more than 70 artists to the Laboratory.
 
 “In pursuit of its cultural policy, Arts at CERN continues to bring ‘Great Arts for Great Science’, giving artists the opportunity to discover the universe of high-energy physics at CERN,” said CERN Director-General Rolf Heuer.
 
Accelerate at CERN is a one month research stay at CERN, organized in collaboration this year with Taiwan and Austria. The jury of Accelerate at CERN Taiwan, funded by the Ministry of Culture for Taiwan, made the award to a joint project from dancer Wenchi Su and digital artist Pei-Ying Lin, for their unique combination of dance and physics principles, where language and spatial interaction would be used in extraordinary ways. “CERN is the dream place I always wanted to go to, except I never expected to be there as an artist rather than a physicist,” says Pei-Ying Lin.
 
The jury of Accelerate at CERN Austria, funded by the Austrian Federal Chancellery, selected architects  Sandra Manninger and Matias Del Campo, for their focus on the notion of geometry. “Scientific insights have always been part of what influenced us as architects and designers, not only in terms of a technological aid, but as a cultural agent and catalyst for new spatial solutions,” said the two winners.
 
The winner of the Collide at CERN Pro Helvetia artist residency programme is the collective Fragment.in, formed by Laura Perrenoud, Simon de Diesbach, and Marc Dubois. Their art deals with two realities: tangible and virtual reality. “In their proposal, Fragment.in has a unique, original and creative approach to data visualization. We look forward to having them at CERN,” said Monica Bello, Head of Arts at CERN. Collide at CERN is the three month residency programme providing artists with time and space to reflect, research and renew their artistic practice.
 
Following on from three highly successful years of partnership with Ars Electronica, Arts at CERN launches today the open call for Collide at CERN Ars Electronica, the award in which artists from any country are invited to apply for a residency at CERN. This call is open for digital artists, innovative concepts and ideas in the field of art, science and technology. The residency will be part of the "European Digital Art and Science Network" initiated by Ars Electronica with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the EU.
 
Online submissions for Collide at CERN Ars Electronica open 30 April 2015 and close 23 June 2015: http://www.aec.at/artandscience/open-call/
