He says that when this is successful, it leaves a \u00bbsimple impression which everyone can understand, as opposed to quantum physics, which no one understands\u00ab. <\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI believe that theory must be combined with images if it is to be understandable,\u00ab he explains.<\/p>\n<p>The installation, which is funded by The Danish Arts Agency, Velux Fonden and the Niels Bohr Fund, will

These collisions are registered by huge detectors which generate the data now to be transmitted visually by the Colliderscope light display.<\/p>\n<h2>Particle light show<\/h2>\n<p>The intensity and speed at which the diodes illuminate and fade is determined by the mass and energy of the particles collided. The pathway of the particle will determine which bulbs light up. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/god-shuffles-cards-cern\" target=\"_blank\">See the article <em>God shuffles the cards for CERN <\/em>here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The artists behind NBI Colliderscope have previously collaborated with NBI on a project called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sensuallogic.org\/Members\/skeel\/category_1019984899\/frameset.html\" target=\"_blank\">Interference<\/a>, where chaos theory, among other things, was the inspiration for wall murals and other works which combine art with elements from the world of the natural sciences. <\/p>\n<p>Christian Skeel, one of the creators of the light sculpture, explains that he is fascinated by pure research, because \u00bbboth researchers and artists seek to describe the full scope of existence\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas researchers attempt to explain the rules that apply to physics, Skeel feels is driven to unite these explanations with a sensual and everyday approach to reality. <\/p>\n<p>In his artwork, Christian Skeel seeks to \u00bbcleanse everyday life, so that everything that does not belong in the picture is removed\u00ab. He says that when this is successful, it leaves a \u00bbsimple impression which everyone can understand, as opposed to quantum physics, which no one understands\u00ab. <\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI believe that theory must be combined with images if it is to be understandable,\u00ab he explains.<\/p>\n<p>The installation, which is funded by The Danish Arts Agency, Velux Fonden and the Niels Bohr Fund, will be lighting up the front of NBI&#8217;s building on Blegdamsvej until 2011.<\/p>\n<p>luci@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":43,"name":"Culture","slug":"culture","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":43,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":562,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11485,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_5061v2-gertie-1280x985.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23657"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39579,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23657\/revisions\/39579"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
