An artist residency at the particle accelerator here in Berlin opened up the world of particle- and astrophysics to me. Electrons race at light speed through the particle accelerator, generating a very specific kind of radiation, called “Synchrotron Light”, as they go. This light is harnessed and used to observe how materials react to shifts in environmental conditions. In a way, scientists can “see” deep into the interior of solid matter.
But all that the scientists actually see are the data: numbers, graphs, tables. As an artist, I would like to instead literally see what things look like, visually, at the subatomic level. But of course that’s impossible. The “Electron Universes” series explores how invisible and intangible spaces might look if we could see them with our own eyes.
