School doesn\u00b4t really start until Tuesday, but today I had a very exciting and interesting day, volunteering to help put up an exhibition. All next week there will be a science-conference at the college, and the old&amp;nbsp;auditorium is the place to be! Last night an Austrian artist\/particle physicist(\/ski-instructor) came to Stord and today\u00b4s task was to make the old room come alive with particle-art!<\/p>\n

Meet Michael Hoch, scientist and artist, working at Cern. Cern as in the-large-hydron-collider-Cern! He works in the ARTcms<\/a>&amp;nbsp;department with the wonderful motto: Art of science, Beauty in creation.<\/p>\n

He has some very interesting pieces of art with him. Large photo-collages of the LHC up-close (which is impossible, and therefor put together from hundreds of smaller photos). He\u00b4s played around with these images, and made some intriguing artwork. I find it truly fascinating how one can make a purely technical motif look so serene, calm and meditative, almost like a Buddist mandala or even a flower. The more I looked at the images around me today, the more and more I liked them!<\/p>\n

To know that this kaleidoscope is real, that it is 17 meters tall, and that 40 million proton-collisions pass through here (-ish) a second. See, it \u00b4s unfathomable! As in difficult for me to wrap my head around that last part. How mankind can invent an instrument that is able to measure something so small and so quick\u2026<\/p>\n

\"_MG_1440\"<\/p>\n

\u2026 wow\u2026 it is a completely different world than the one I\u00b4m living in, that\u00b4s for sure. But so very interesting! Even thought I hardly understand anything about quarks and bosons, I find it very fascinating. We\u00b4ve certainly had an educational lunch and dinner today!<\/p>\n

\"_MG_1443\"<\/p>\n

These are just a very few of the images\/artworks he brought with him, there are a lot more on this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n
