Art@CMS is an education and outreach initiative of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Art@CMS seeks to act as an inspiring springboard for engaging the general public in the excitement of scientific research in High Energy Particle Physics. It aims to promote a long-lasting dialogue between the LHC scientific community, the art world and educational communities for a greater appreciation and understanding of particle physics research and its contribution to education and society.
In 2017, a local art@CMS project was initiated between the Particle Physics Research group at Ghent University and the KASK & Conservatorium School of Arts Gent. In direct dialogue with the EPS-HEP2019 conference – one of the major Particle Physics symposia in the world taking place in Gent this summer – this huge art-and-science project aims to be its philosophical and artistic counterpart, with a series of public events in June, leading up to a final exhibition in July 2019. This final exhibition at two different venues will include works of both local and international artists collaborating with art@CMS. Entrance to these events is free.

- Discoteca Clandestina, the Harbinger opening party at Kunsthal Gent, featuring a psychotronic audiovisual performance with moving pictures and visual information supported by a DJ set.
- Harbinger I: First Signs brings a lineup of international speakers elaborating on themes such as the encounter between arts and sciences, the complex relations between data, debt and speculation, and the connections tying matter and consciousness together. For four weeks, always on weekends (from 25 May to 16 June), Kunsthal Gent will host presentations and debates followed by curated screenings.
- Harbinger II: Subtle Collisions a group exhibition to be held at UGent’s Botanical Garden, which will depart from the common practices of artists and scientists who conceive forms of visualization as systems and devices to grasp very different realities around us.
The artworks presented in this exhibition have been produced by a range of international artists who are working in collaboration with the art@CMS-ORIGIN programme.
Based on personal interests and research by each artist each piece has been created using a wide range of media. The inspiration for these works is either scientific knowledge, research or meditations around the scientific world.
The artists involved are linked to a number of art groups and institutions, including Cuántico (the world), Central Saint Martins (London) and University of Applied Arts (Vienna).
