grieving to acceptance  
longing to peace 
loneliness to solitude

Every second, a muon particle shoots through your body. An invisible cosmic messenger at 299,726 km/second. A muon forms when a proton flying through space, hits the earth’s atmosphere at 99.9% the speed of light and breaks down into its subatomic components. The source of these protons is largely unknown but most likely come from supernovae explosions, millions, or even billions of light years away. Muons are part of the ancient, native language of matter that makes up everything in existence yet are invisible to human perception. The µ Muography device invites these muons into a collaborative art process, making their presence visible through a variety of creative outcomes including image making, sound and performance works, becoming active (non-human) agents in art production. The muons act as a strange new language form, a signalling from the distant universe.

distorting your neural waves
upending your sense of now

“This mix was originally recorded as a pilot for a radio show that never happened, on a radio station that never happened. But was recorded right before my second stint of running a weekly late night show on 2ser with my friend Hani. All those episodes got deleted unfortunately so this is a tiny bit of the music we played on the show. A gravestone to a radio show you never knew existed.”

DARK MATTERS is an exhibition in collaboration with Arts at CERN and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics. The exhibition aims to explore the fundamental essence of life and the universe, and how so much of it remains a mystery to us. 

Deep dive into the unseen, the unknown and the unspoken – will we ever fully understand the forces at play in our own lives, both on an individual level and on a planetary and universal scale? Dark matter consists of a mysterious substance that does not present an interaction with electromagnetic forces, which means it does not absorb, reflect it, or emit light. In an era defined by the power of modelling data, technology and simulations, the search for dark matter can be seen as a symbol of the limits of our cognitive experience – how might it help us imagine new possibilities for life, and our relationships with non-human entities or systems?

Through local and international experimental projects – some developed in conversation with scientists and researchers – explore life and all the dark matter that flows through it, under it and collides with it.

DARK MATTERS is co-curated by Mónica Bello, Head of Arts at CERN and Tilly Boleyn, Head of Curatorial at Science Gallery Melbourne in collaboration with a curatorial panel of young people.
