![]() ![]() This return to materialism, in Lind’s sense, is not intended simply as a return to craft, but is metaphorical, referring to what can be done, under certain conditions, either collaboratively, independently, or in an institutional setting. In a way, artists and physicists are similar because both try to understand the world, considering first the image, then the processes behind it. It occurs to me that 2011, the year that Lind cites as a “new” beginning for artistic production, was the same year as the founding of Arts at CERN, which promotes dialogue between artists and physicists at the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Lind reflects on this return to materialization since 2011, asking, “What, then, of the artist’s hand?” The rematerialization Lind considers is not only related to the art object but takes in the wider category of contemporary art. ![]() It’s a very important time for visual art - I mean, for the world as well. © CERN.ĮM: Lately I’ve been reading Seven Years: The Rematerialization of Art from 2011 to 2017 by Maria Lind. ALICE Experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Art and science have been connected in the past, but the interest that we are seeing in today’s culture is directly linked to our technological and information-driven society, which is defining the way we understand reality. In this context, it’s not rare that the hybrid areas between disciplines emerge as a helpful place to look for meaning and significance within a very complex panorama. We know so much about nature, and even our universe. MB: The times we live in today are quite unprecedented. Artists and scientists coincide in having the same drive to explore and understand what escapes our control - the shadows in our understanding of the complex world that surrounds us.ĮM: Why was it necessity to find a place that could foster this encounter? ![]() Mónica Bello: Art and science meet at the junction between disciplines. Flash Art Editor Eleonora Milani invited Mónica Bello, Head of Arts at CERN, to talk about the relationship between the arts and sciences.Įleonora Milani: Where do art and science intersect? As part of Flash Art’s ongoing investigation of contemporary practices, we reached out to Arts at CERN, an endeavor that since 2011 has been fostering dialogue between artists and physicists at the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Over the past hundred years or so, artists and scientists have come to follow increasingly common paths, from exploration to research to discovery, and from production to dissemination, first within their communities and then across broader society.
