Easing into the Fermilab artist residency
For those that follow this website and blog, you may have noticed I have been quite absent here. When that happens just head over to my other website/blog, stemarts.com. It just means I have been focusing on the social and educational aspect of my art practice. But this year, I am going to be returning to this website to share my research and my process as part of the Fermilab artist residency. I am honored to have been selected, allowing me the space to dive into pure physics research once again. I visited Fermilab in 2022 which inspired me to apply. I was at CERN finishing up Fluidic Data in 2019 when COVID hit. I am excited to be returning there next month to continue my research and ongoing collaborations.
In my first three months as a guest artist at Fermilab, I met virtually with Fermilab scientists Kirsty Duffy, Grace Cummings, Luis Mendoza, Innes E. Bigaran, Tiffany Angela Fava and Supraja Balasubramania coordinated by curator, Georgia Schwender. My focus has been on neutrino particles and why they are important to our understanding of the universe. In this time I have been learning about what makes them unique and specifically how the neutrino detectors are built to track these elusive particles
I am also looking forward to returning to my studio in Berlin to work out some new ideas that have been emerging from visits with Fermilab scientists on neutrino detectors, virtual particles and augmented reality. Thank you Georgia Schwender for curating this experience!
