The Live Creature and Ethereal Things: Physics in Culture

'The Live Creature and Ethereal Things: Physics in Culture' is a collection of essays, images and short texts that present fundamental physics and the physics of the universe as human activities and cultural endeavours. Contributions by artists, curators and physicists examine the role of personality, power and culture in physics and discuss the value of cross-pollination between the practices of contemporary art and physics. These reflections shed light on the people and the material practices of physics: from the vast underground particle physics laboratory at CERN, Geneva, used by half of the world's particle physicists, and deep underground neutrino observatories in the UK, Italy and Antarctica, to super-computers that construct astonishing visualisations of the evolution of the universe. Contributors: Dr Nicola Triscott, Professor Fiona Crisp, Tavares Strachan, Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt), Dr Suchitra Sebastian, Professor Tara Shears, Dr Chamkaur Ghag, Ansuman Biswas, Nahum, Professor Roger Malina, Dr Mark Neyrinck, Tom s Saraceno, Dr Flaviu Cipcigan, Annie Carpenter, Dr Marek Kukula, Harry Lawson, Dr Massimo Mannarelli, Phil Coy, M nica Bello, Jol Thomson, and Blanca Pujals. Foreword by Johanna Kieniewicz, Institute of Physics
