The UC Davis ModLab is an experimental laboratory for new media and technology research and digital humanities. Our goals are to inspire significant exchanges between art & physics, and to participate in an international cultural community eager to connect with CERN. Artists across all creative disciplines are invited to experience the way the big questions about our universe are pursued by fundamental science. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PARTNERS Arts at CERNĪrts at CERN is the arts programme of CERN in Geneva, created in 2012 to foster dialogue between art and physics. More artists will be publicised on a current basis. Yet, It Moves! is conceptualised and curated in collaboration with the curator and researcher Irene Campolmi.Ĭecilia Bengolea, Jenna Sutela, Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Nora Turato, Helene Nymann, Ryoji Ikeda, and Black Quantum Futurism. Even though we may not always be aware of it, everything evolves to assume new forms -everything in the universe is in motion and all parts are interconnected.During summer and autumn 2023, people walking, biking, commuting or driving throughout the city of Copenhagen will encounter art installations that reflect, deal or challenge movement as a concept and a phenomenon that happens on micro and macro scales. At the same time, we explore the human bodily movement patterns, how they connect to the cyclical rhythms of the universe, and how every movement we do imitates someone else’s movement.Movement – an aspect of life often taken for granted – is the means by which any life form in this universe self-regenerate s. We investigate movements that pertain to different fields of physics, from quantum to astrophysics through artworks and installations that use light and sound as a means to think about complex phenomena such as black holes, stars formation, gravitational waves, the universe expansion at a macro scale, as well as nuclear explosions, particles’ interaction at a micro scale. These are the aspects at the foundation of the vision for Yet, It Moves! Through these partnerships, we want to create the possibility for thinking and their capacity to develop new ways to present scientific discoveries– through art installations, dance performances and innovative public programmes that can reach out a broad audience. ![]() Researchers from our partners institutions are paired with invited artists, who work and think with the scientific collaborators through short-term residencies that take place during 2022. Scientific research partners: DARK at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Arts at CERN in Geneva, The Interacting Minds Centre at Aarhus University, and ModLab (Digital Humanities Laboratory) at the University of California, in Davis. Yet, It Moves! is realised in collaboration with four scientific research institutions – incorporating the research fields astro and quantum physics, brain and cognitive research, anthropology, technology and performance studies. The project title cites the story about the courageous Galileo Galilei, who was forced by the Catholic Church to deny the fact that the Earth moves around the sun and could not, therefore, be the centre of the universe – defending his theory with these words: ‘And yet it moves!’ His statement was a reference to the now widely accepted truth that, irrespective of human action, the Earth is part of a greater universal movement that impacts on ourselves and the world in which we move. ![]() Works from Cecilia Bengolea, Nora Turato, Ryoji Ikeda, Black Quantum Futurism and others We tend to forget how our everyday movements form part of greater contexts while our bodily movements through space and time leave footprints, thus contributing to shape the world around us. Movement is a basic premise for all life forms in theuniverse regardless of whether they are galaxies or planets moving around the sun, particles in the atmosphere, or life forms on Planet Earth everything in the universe is in motion and every part is interconnected. Through a broad artistic programme, Yet, It Moves! examines movement as a ubiquitous phenomenon, illuminating the many complex patterns of movement that impact on us all. Yet, It Moves! is thus both an exhibition and a research project examining movement – above, around, and within us. The project will be realised through a collaborative venture between international and Danish artists as well as important scientific partners, and the results will appear via art installations in public spaces in Copenhagen and in three of CC’s exhibition halls during the summer and autumn of 2023. Rewarded for its visionary exhibition format, the exhibition links scientific research and art through the theme of movement as a phenomenon from micro- to macrocosm. In 2021, CC won Scandinavia’s greatest art award the Bikuben Foundation Vision Exhibition Award for the project Yet, It Moves!.
