[Music] I’m gonna start with a survey how many
I’m gonna start with a survey how many
I’m gonna start with a survey how many of you consider yourselves analytical
of you consider yourselves analytical
of you consider yourselves analytical people raise your hands okay how many of
people raise your hands okay how many of
people raise your hands okay how many of you consider yourselves creative people
you consider yourselves creative people
you consider yourselves creative people raise your hands
raise your hands
raise your hands I’m impressed that’s good that’s good
I’m impressed that’s good that’s good
I’m impressed that’s good that’s good now how many consider yourselves both or
now how many consider yourselves both or
now how many consider yourselves both or think that’s a stupid question to begin
think that’s a stupid question to begin
think that’s a stupid question to begin with oh wow okay good no no put them
with oh wow okay good no no put them
with oh wow okay good no no put them back down again I was a little bit
back down again I was a little bit
back down again I was a little bit worried because I thought maybe there
worried because I thought maybe there
worried because I thought maybe there was no point to my talk but actually
was no point to my talk but actually
was no point to my talk but actually this is this is working out well okay I
this is this is working out well okay I
this is this is working out well okay I asked that question because it comes up
asked that question because it comes up
asked that question because it comes up a lot in the work that I do and I work
a lot in the work that I do and I work
a lot in the work that I do and I work at CERN as you heard in the introduction
at CERN as you heard in the introduction
at CERN as you heard in the introduction I’m a mechanical engineer and I work in
I’m a mechanical engineer and I work in
I’m a mechanical engineer and I work in this area that you see in the picture
this area that you see in the picture
this area that you see in the picture this is the inner detector of the Atlas
this is the inner detector of the Atlas
this is the inner detector of the Atlas experiment on the Large Hadron Collider
experiment on the Large Hadron Collider
experiment on the Large Hadron Collider and it’s complicated but what you need
and it’s complicated but what you need
and it’s complicated but what you need to know is that I work on something
to know is that I work on something
to know is that I work on something called the pixel detector and this is
called the pixel detector and this is
called the pixel detector and this is effectively the world’s most complex
effectively the world’s most complex
effectively the world’s most complex digital camera it takes 80 megapixel
digital camera it takes 80 megapixel
digital camera it takes 80 megapixel photos 40 million times every second and
photos 40 million times every second and
photos 40 million times every second and I’ve been working on this for about the
I’ve been working on this for about the
I’ve been working on this for about the past 17 years and during that time I
past 17 years and during that time I
past 17 years and during that time I started to get interested in other types
started to get interested in other types
started to get interested in other types of cameras actually so in fact I went
of cameras actually so in fact I went
of cameras actually so in fact I went and I did a master in film directing and
and I did a master in film directing and
and I did a master in film directing and I came back I actually didn’t never left
I came back I actually didn’t never left
I came back I actually didn’t never left CERN but I I took a period to
CERN but I I took a period to
CERN but I I took a period to concentrate a little bit on filmmaking
concentrate a little bit on filmmaking
concentrate a little bit on filmmaking and I came back and I founded with some
and I came back and I founded with some
and I came back and I founded with some other colleagues something called The
other colleagues something called The
other colleagues something called The Synagogue Film Festival which you may
Synagogue Film Festival which you may
Synagogue Film Festival which you may have heard of you may just know it as
have heard of you may just know it as
have heard of you may just know it as the film festival that’s at CERN and we
the film festival that’s at CERN and we
the film festival that’s at CERN and we received films from over a hundred
received films from over a hundred
received films from over a hundred countries around the world and they’re
countries around the world and they’re
countries around the world and they’re all inspired by science or technology in
all inspired by science or technology in
all inspired by science or technology in some way and what we try to do is to
some way and what we try to do is to
some way and what we try to do is to show the links between science and
show the links between science and
show the links between science and technology and society
technology and society
technology and society and I also got interested in the broader
and I also got interested in the broader
and I also got interested in the broader implications of all of this artistic
implications of all of this artistic
implications of all of this artistic practice and I started working with the
practice and I started working with the
practice and I started working with the arts at CERN program and was the
arts at CERN program and was the
arts at CERN program and was the scientific inspiration partner that’s a
scientific inspiration partner that’s a
scientific inspiration partner that’s a big sounding term basically the
big sounding term basically the
big sounding term basically the scientific partner of Yann Peters the
scientific partner of Yann Peters the
scientific partner of Yann Peters the filmmaker and residents that stayed with
filmmaker and residents that stayed with
filmmaker and residents that stayed with us for the better part of a year
us for the better part of a year
us for the better part of a year actually working with our team
actually working with our team
actually working with our team underground in the cavern day-to-day
underground in the cavern day-to-day
underground in the cavern day-to-day watching what we did
watching what we did
watching what we did asking questions feeding back and
asking questions feeding back and
asking questions feeding back and documenting the whole thing obviously as
documenting the whole thing obviously as
documenting the whole thing obviously as part of his artistic practice and so
part of his artistic practice and so
part of his artistic practice and so with these two different pursuits that I
with these two different pursuits that I
with these two different pursuits that I do I get a lot of questions and it used
do I get a lot of questions and it used
do I get a lot of questions and it used to be very simple people would say well
to be very simple people would say well
to be very simple people would say well how do you how do you manage to do all
how do you how do you manage to do all
how do you how do you manage to do all of that and so the first way interpreted
of that and so the first way interpreted
of that and so the first way interpreted that question was very literally said
that question was very literally said
that question was very literally said well yeah it’s true I I worked really
well yeah it’s true I I worked really
well yeah it’s true I I worked really late and you know on the weekends and
late and you know on the weekends and
late and you know on the weekends and stuff like that and my wife is often not
stuff like that and my wife is often not
stuff like that and my wife is often not very happy because I’m away a lot and
very happy because I’m away a lot and
very happy because I’m away a lot and they said no no how do you do two things
they said no no how do you do two things
they said no no how do you do two things that are complete opposites and I
that are complete opposites and I
that are complete opposites and I realized that idea of them being
realized that idea of them being
realized that idea of them being complete opposites that actually comes
complete opposites that actually comes
complete opposites that actually comes from something that has been very
from something that has been very
from something that has been very current in our kind of consciousness for

current in our kind of consciousness for the last several decades
the last several decades
the last several decades excuse me decades which is this idea of
excuse me decades which is this idea of
excuse me decades which is this idea of left-brain right-brain separation right
left-brain right-brain separation right
left-brain right-brain separation right that there’s an analytical side to your

with this distinction between right
with this distinction between right brain and left brain I was worried I
brain and left brain I was worried I
brain and left brain I was worried I would get that wrong right brain and
would get that wrong right brain and
would get that wrong right brain and left brain is that it creates this idea
left brain is that it creates this idea
left brain is that it creates this idea of identity actually and so we don’t
of identity actually and so we don’t
of identity actually and so we don’t think of those as qualities we tend to
think of those as qualities we tend to
think of those as qualities we tend to think of them more as who we are so you
think of them more as who we are so you
think of them more as who we are so you might think if I am brainy or

cerebral you know you might hear people
cerebral you know you might hear people say that again these are very much
say that again these are very much
say that again these are very much identities and the problem with
identities and the problem with
identities and the problem with identities is that they’re essentially
identities is that they’re essentially
identities is that they’re essentially categories right they put us in boxes
categories right they put us in boxes
categories right they put us in boxes and then we get the idea that if we’re
and then we get the idea that if we’re

in one box that it might be difficult to
in one box that it might be difficult to communicate with people in the other box
communicate with people in the other box
communicate with people in the other box okay and so this this concept
okay and so this this concept
okay and so this this concept essentially of right-brain left-brain
essentially of right-brain left-brain
essentially of right-brain left-brain it’s actually created this kind of
it’s actually created this kind of
it’s actually created this kind of society I like to say that’s divided
society I like to say that’s divided
society I like to say that’s divided into two halves I mean okay it’s not
into two halves I mean okay it’s not
into two halves I mean okay it’s not quite that simple obviously there’s more
quite that simple obviously there’s more
quite that simple obviously there’s more characteristics to people than just
characteristics to people than just
characteristics to people than just these two broad sort of categories but
these two broad sort of categories but
these two broad sort of categories but you know broadly speaking people kind of
you know broadly speaking people kind of
you know broadly speaking people kind of see themselves on one side of the other
see themselves on one side of the other
see themselves on one side of the other right and they’re really they’re
right and they’re really they’re
right and they’re really they’re inversions of each other okay and this
inversions of each other okay and this
inversions of each other okay and this is something that has transferred into
is something that has transferred into

the understanding of art and science
the understanding of art and science being art is one thing science is

well with me and I think a lot of people
well with me and I think a lot of people felt that way you know it’s it kind of
felt that way you know it’s it kind of
felt that way you know it’s it kind of sounds overly limiting this idea that
sounds overly limiting this idea that
sounds overly limiting this idea that there might be a physical block to
there might be a physical block to
there might be a physical block to actually using our entire capacity to
actually using our entire capacity to
actually using our entire capacity to both reason and create and this is one
both reason and create and this is one
both reason and create and this is one really really nice instance of where
really really nice instance of where
really really nice instance of where science actually backs up something that
science actually backs up something that
science actually backs up something that kind of feels like it’s right because
kind of feels like it’s right because
kind of feels like it’s right because actually this is wrong okay
actually this is wrong okay
actually this is wrong okay the left-brain right-brain idea isn’t
the left-brain right-brain idea isn’t
the left-brain right-brain idea isn’t real right all the research for the last
real right all the research for the last
real right all the research for the last 10 or so years and even maybe before
10 or so years and even maybe before
10 or so years and even maybe before that actually says that we use our
that actually says that we use our
that actually says that we use our entire brain okay for everything we do
entire brain okay for everything we do
entire brain okay for everything we do and especially if we want to be creative
and especially if we want to be creative
and especially if we want to be creative if we want
if we want
if we want to invent then we need to have access to
to invent then we need to have access to
to invent then we need to have access to both analysis of what’s exists bring in
both analysis of what’s exists bring in
both analysis of what’s exists bring in everything from outside see what it is
everything from outside see what it is
everything from outside see what it is figure out how it fits together and then
figure out how it fits together and then
figure out how it fits together and then jenis and then that creates the genesis
jenis and then that creates the genesis
jenis and then that creates the genesis of new ideas okay and so we use all of
of new ideas okay and so we use all of
of new ideas okay and so we use all of the areas of the brain to process this
the areas of the brain to process this
the areas of the brain to process this so what that really means is that we
so what that really means is that we
so what that really means is that we have actually a society okay that
have actually a society okay that
have actually a society okay that actually is composed of people that all
actually is composed of people that all
actually is composed of people that all have varying degrees of ability I’m not
have varying degrees of ability I’m not
have varying degrees of ability I’m not trying to say that everybody is as

I’m not good with numbers
I’m not good with numbers that may be true okay it might not mean
that may be true okay it might not mean
that may be true okay it might not mean that they couldn’t be good with numbers
that they couldn’t be good with numbers
that they couldn’t be good with numbers but I can tell you one thing if they
but I can tell you one thing if they
but I can tell you one thing if they believe that they’re not good with
believe that they’re not good with
believe that they’re not good with numbers because that side of their brain
numbers because that side of their brain
numbers because that side of their brain doesn’t work then they are never going

side of their brain works okay and so when we talk about doing collaborations
when we talk about doing collaborations
when we talk about doing collaborations between arts and science it’s important
between arts and science it’s important
between arts and science it’s important to note that the purpose is not to make
to note that the purpose is not to make
to note that the purpose is not to make one serve the other we don’t bring
one serve the other we don’t bring
one serve the other we don’t bring people who practice the Arts into a
people who practice the Arts into a
people who practice the Arts into a place like CERN so they can make pretty
place like CERN so they can make pretty
place like CERN so they can make pretty pictures this is a pretty picture but
pictures this is a pretty picture but
pictures this is a pretty picture but this is not art this is actually an
this is not art this is actually an
this is not art this is actually an event display okay of a real collision
event display okay of a real collision
event display okay of a real collision at Atlas and this is something we use to
at Atlas and this is something we use to
at Atlas and this is something we use to communicate it’s not something that we
communicate it’s not something that we
communicate it’s not something that we use for artistic expression and that’s
use for artistic expression and that’s
use for artistic expression and that’s not why we bring artists in they don’t
not why we bring artists in they don’t
not why we bring artists in they don’t create this we have professionals at
create this we have professionals at
create this we have professionals at CERN at other experiments that all are
CERN at other experiments that all are
CERN at other experiments that all are very very qualified at interpreting the
very very qualified at interpreting the
very very qualified at interpreting the data and turning it into things that
data and turning it into things that
data and turning it into things that people understand and they can
people understand and they can
people understand and they can communicate we bring artists in actually
communicate we bring artists in actually
communicate we bring artists in actually to have a dialogue to talk about
to have a dialogue to talk about
to have a dialogue to talk about practice and they may make beautiful
practice and they may make beautiful
practice and they may make beautiful things but the making of the things is
things but the making of the things is
things but the making of the things is not the purpose okay it’s not the
not the purpose okay it’s not the
not the purpose okay it’s not the artworks that are important in these
artworks that are important in these
artworks that are important in these collaborations
collaborations
collaborations it’s the examination of the artistic
it’s the examination of the artistic
it’s the examination of the artistic practice and the examination of the
practice and the examination of the
practice and the examination of the scientific practice and how they
scientific practice and how they
scientific practice and how they intersect that’s actually really
intersect that’s actually really
intersect that’s actually really important for us and so what we’re
important for us and so what we’re
important for us and so what we’re effectively doing is training this
effectively doing is training this
effectively doing is training this of artistic practice on the scientific
of artistic practice on the scientific
of artistic practice on the scientific practice we do and what does that do it
practice we do and what does that do it
practice we do and what does that do it gives meaning okay it helps us define
gives meaning okay it helps us define
gives meaning okay it helps us define what it means to do the work that we do
what it means to do the work that we do
what it means to do the work that we do it’s not always easy to capture that but
it’s not always easy to capture that but
it’s not always easy to capture that but this is really really important because
this is really really important because
this is really really important because in something like particle physics
in something like particle physics
in something like particle physics actually meaning is a big big question
actually meaning is a big big question
actually meaning is a big big question we are asking some questions that are so
we are asking some questions that are so
we are asking some questions that are so fundamental and so kind of
fundamental and so kind of
fundamental and so kind of earth-shattering that to just look at it
earth-shattering that to just look at it
earth-shattering that to just look at it from the numbers doesn’t really do it
from the numbers doesn’t really do it
from the numbers doesn’t really do it justice so you might ask artistically
justice so you might ask artistically
justice so you might ask artistically for example how will it all end well we
for example how will it all end well we
for example how will it all end well we can ask scientifically is the universe
can ask scientifically is the universe
can ask scientifically is the universe expanding and will it ever stop and
expanding and will it ever stop and
expanding and will it ever stop and putting these two together makes the
putting these two together makes the
putting these two together makes the question more meaningful for everybody
question more meaningful for everybody
question more meaningful for everybody on both sides
on both sides
on both sides likewise where do we come from the
likewise where do we come from the
likewise where do we come from the origin question well that’s simply how
origin question well that’s simply how
origin question well that’s simply how did matter form and then likewise are we
did matter form and then likewise are we
did matter form and then likewise are we alone in the universe this is probably
alone in the universe this is probably
alone in the universe this is probably the one that maybe troubles people the
the one that maybe troubles people the
the one that maybe troubles people the most actually and then actually
most actually and then actually
most actually and then actually unfortunately the scientific examination
unfortunately the scientific examination
unfortunately the scientific examination of that is maybe even more disconcerting
of that is maybe even more disconcerting
of that is maybe even more disconcerting is our universe the only one or do we
is our universe the only one or do we
is our universe the only one or do we live in one of a multitude of
live in one of a multitude of
live in one of a multitude of multiverses that that’s pretty scary
multiverses that that’s pretty scary
multiverses that that’s pretty scary actually so we won’t go down that road
actually so we won’t go down that road
actually so we won’t go down that road but um but this is clearly ripe for
but um but this is clearly ripe for
but um but this is clearly ripe for scientific as well as artistic
scientific as well as artistic
scientific as well as artistic exploration and of course there’s always
exploration and of course there’s always
exploration and of course there’s always the question that many artists have asks
the question that many artists have asks
the question that many artists have asks is there a God and the scientific
is there a God and the scientific
is there a God and the scientific interpretation of that would be probably
interpretation of that would be probably
interpretation of that would be probably is there a God actually because some
is there a God actually because some
is there a God actually because some questions are universal right and that’s
questions are universal right and that’s
questions are universal right and that’s really what I’m getting at here is that
really what I’m getting at here is that
really what I’m getting at here is that we’re asking essentially about the same
we’re asking essentially about the same
we’re asking essentially about the same things we’re just putting them together
things we’re just putting them together
things we’re just putting them together in slightly different ways and so when
in slightly different ways and so when
in slightly different ways and so when we take this lens of artistic practice
we take this lens of artistic practice
we take this lens of artistic practice and we look at our scientific practice
and we look at our scientific practice
and we look at our scientific practice we come up with actually some really
we come up with actually some really
we come up with actually some really really interesting things this is a
really interesting things this is a
really interesting things this is a pinhole camera photo done by Yann Peters
pinhole camera photo done by Yann Peters
pinhole camera photo done by Yann Peters of the Atlas experiment and this photo
of the Atlas experiment and this photo
of the Atlas experiment and this photo this is an analogue photo on a piece of
this is an analogue photo on a piece of
this is an analogue photo on a piece of photo paper I inverted it so it looks
photo paper I inverted it so it looks
photo paper I inverted it so it looks like a real picture
like a real picture
like a real picture this is a photo that took between 24 and
this is a photo that took between 24 and
this is a photo that took between 24 and 48 hours to take so this is like the
48 hours to take so this is like the
48 hours to take so this is like the world’s slowest analog photo of the
world’s slowest analog photo of the
world’s slowest analog photo of the world’s fastest digital camera that’s
world’s fastest digital camera that’s
world’s fastest digital camera that’s kind of cool right I mean I don’t know
kind of cool right I mean I don’t know
kind of cool right I mean I don’t know what really know why exactly but it is
what really know why exactly but it is
what really know why exactly but it is and then likewise if we turn that on its
and then likewise if we turn that on its
and then likewise if we turn that on its head a little bit what we have is this
head a little bit what we have is this
head a little bit what we have is this this is my semiconductor a duo a couple
this is my semiconductor a duo a couple
this is my semiconductor a duo a couple actually that’s been it started working
actually that’s been it started working
actually that’s been it started working at the aegis experiment and this is
at the aegis experiment and this is
at the aegis experiment and this is traces of antimatter through
traces of antimatter through
traces of antimatter through photographic emulsion that has been
photographic emulsion that has been
photographic emulsion that has been digitally animated so in this case the
digitally animated so in this case the
digitally animated so in this case the sensing medium of the scientific
sensing medium of the scientific
sensing medium of the scientific experiment is actually analog and the
experiment is actually analog and the
experiment is actually analog and the reason is because the digital sensors
reason is because the digital sensors
reason is because the digital sensors that we can grade are not accurate
that we can grade are not accurate
that we can grade are not accurate enough so they had to go back to
enough so they had to go back to
enough so they had to go back to photographic emulsion and then the
photographic emulsion and then the
photographic emulsion and then the artists through digital practice have
artists through digital practice have
artists through digital practice have taken this and made it into something
taken this and made it into something
taken this and made it into something animated and with life and again I don’t
animated and with life and again I don’t
animated and with life and again I don’t really know exactly what these things
really know exactly what these things
really know exactly what these things mean but I know that they make me feel
mean but I know that they make me feel
mean but I know that they make me feel differently about the way that I
differently about the way that I
differently about the way that I practice science and the engineering
practice science and the engineering
practice science and the engineering that it takes to get that science done
that it takes to get that science done
that it takes to get that science done and actually it just so happens that
and actually it just so happens that
and actually it just so happens that some things in science and engineering
some things in science and engineering
some things in science and engineering kind of follow some general rules that
kind of follow some general rules that
kind of follow some general rules that fit also in artistic practice like
fit also in artistic practice like
fit also in artistic practice like things that look ugly and inelegant
things that look ugly and inelegant
things that look ugly and inelegant probably aren’t done properly and when
probably aren’t done properly and when
probably aren’t done properly and when they are you can kind of tell this is
they are you can kind of tell this is
they are you can kind of tell this is something that is vitally important
something that is vitally important
something that is vitally important actually not only to theoretical
actually not only to theoretical
actually not only to theoretical physicists but also to engineers even to
physicists but also to engineers even to
physicists but also to engineers even to auto mechanics I mean to people doing
auto mechanics I mean to people doing
auto mechanics I mean to people doing anything that requires creativity and
anything that requires creativity and
anything that requires creativity and analysis some of this element of
analysis some of this element of
analysis some of this element of intuition is critical and of course we
