Deep underground science: new issue of symmetry out today March 3, 2010 The new issue of symmetry features stories about plans for a US deep underground science and engineering laboratory, taking clean equipment to an extreme in the Enriched Xenon Observatory in a salt deposit in New Mexico, the trial faced by the earthquake-stricken Abruzzo region and the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy, the search for "dark life", and a day in the life of the Soudan underground lab in Minnesota.

For Super K Sonic Booooum (top photo), she constructed a flashy version of Japan’s Super- Kamiokande neutrino observatory in London’s Shunt Lounge, a labyrinth of abandoned railway tunnels beneath the London Bridge train station that’s been turned into an underground performance space. Deep underground, physicists set traps to catch dark matter, “I’m really obsessed with large-scale scientific experiments,” Hayoun says. “The neutrinos, rare particle decays, project was born from the idea of giving everyone access to the Super-K and other exotic phenomena. detector.” These protected subterranean lab spaces are highly valued by The installation consisted of a 49-foot-long channel filled with nearly 4000 scientists in a number of fields for gallons of water and lined with 600 balloons representing Super-K’s thousands their isolation and their easy of photomultiplier tubes (left photo).

Not in the real Super-K but in the SHUNT lounge, a night-club buried 10 m under the London Bridge area. http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2010/01/super-k-sonic-booooum.php Page 1 of 3 Super K Sonic Booooum - we make money not art 25/01/2010 15:22 Photo credit: Nick Ballon Called Super K Sonic Booooum, Nelly Ben Hayoun's installation/performance attempted to demonstrate the visual equivalent of one of those massive sonic booms that take place inside Super K each time a neutrino meets an electron of extremely pure water. As ultra-pure water doesn't exactly abound in London clubs, the designer used the water from the nearest fire hydrant and turned the place into a 15 by 5m long swimming pool. Before stepping inside the rubber dinghy, participants were requested to don a pair of white boots, a white coat, a helmet and listen to the security measures: do not touch the machinery, keep your hat on at all time, declare any rocks in the mine.... Five Imperial College London physics researchers, and seven PhD students are currently working on the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment, which uses Super K. Three of them, Professor Dave Wark , Dr Yoshi Uchida and Dr Matthew Malek, jumped on board to guide and inform visitors through the world of particle physics. And all around people, 600 balloons. Inflated one by one. The balloons inflated at SHUNT represent the 'photomultiplier tubes' which cover the surface of the Super K. Super K Sonic Booooum re-creates the rings of blue light and a massive explosion (designed by sound artist Tim Holden) punctuates the experience every 10 minutes. Image credit: Hayeon Yoo Super K Sonic Booooum aims to make arid, hard-core physics more accessible to the general public, to help them understand the power of elementary particles that are everywhere around us without us ever noticing them. Every night during the performance, 170 people queued to get the neutrino experience. If you happen to be in London on February 11, at 6 pm, Nelly Ben Hayoun will be giving a talk about Super K. To participate, please register at the AlterFutures group page. Previously: The Soyuz Chair by Nelly Ben Hayoun and The Cloud Project by Zoe Papadopoulou and Cat Kramer.

Designer Nelly Ben Hayoun and an incredibly patient “Doctor Ryan” are offering a whistlestop boat tour of their Kubrick-esque installation which tells you Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Particle Physics (But Were Afraid to Ask). You might think it’s the scandalously cheap wine, but that really is a visual version of a sonic boom rippling across a subterranean lake, as navigators from Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College London try and unravel the secrets of the universe.

Par marie kock i comme nous, vous passez vos journées à dire « je suis fatigué, pas toi ? » et que vous scrollez les réseaux S avec agacement parce que tout le monde est vraiment trop con, c’est que vous avez aussi besoin de vacances.

  • THE D.A.P. CATALOG Spring 2019 LATAM
    LATAM THE D.A.P. CATALOG SPRING 2019 artbook.com I Phyllis Galembo: Mexico, Masks & Rituals Text by Víctor M. Espinosa, George Otis. Since 1985, photographer Phyllis Galembo has traveled extensively to photograph sites of ritual dress in Africa and the Caribbean. In her latest body of work, collected in this new publication, Galembo turns to Mexico, where she captures cultural performances with a subterranean political edge. Using a direct, unaffected portrait style, Galembo captures her subjects informally posed but often strikingly attired in traditional or ritualistic dress. Masking is a complex tradition in which the participants transcend the physical world and enter the spiritual realm. Masks, costumes and body paint transform the human body and encode a rich range of political, artistic, theatrical, social and religious meanings on the body. In her vibrant color photographs, Galembo highlights the artistry of the performers, how they use materials from their immediate environment to morph into a fantastical representation of themselves and an idealized vision of a mythical figure. In a gorgeous, fascinating photographic survey of Mexico’s masking practices, Galembo captures her subjects suspended between past, present and future, with their religious, political and cultural affiliations—their personal and collective identifications—displayed on their bodies. Photographer Phyllis Galembo (born 1952) received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1977, and was Professor in the Fine Arts Department of SUNY Albany from 1978 to 2018. A 2014 Guggenheim Fellow, Galembo has photographs in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Public Library.
