Instruments of Vision is an exhibition by Armin Linke, organised by the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) and Arts at CERN, the contemporary art programme of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. The project is curated by Mónica Bello (Santiago de Compostela, 1973), director of Arts at CERN.
This exhibition gathers more than 20 years of work by the photographer and filmmaker Armin Linke (Milan, 1966), in which he has explored large experimental infrastructures such as CERN, the Laboratori Nazionali di Gran Sasso (L'Aquila, Italy), or the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), in Innsbruck (Austria).
For this occasion, Armin Linke has produced a series of works showing the scientific work of IGFAE staff, present in some of the most important international scientific collaborations in particle physics, such as the LHCb experiment at CERN.
The exhibition commemorates, in 2024, the 25th anniversary of the IGFAE and the 70th anniversary of the founding of CERN.
There will be a programme of guided tours of the exhibition on 16 and 23 July and 20 and 27 August, from 19:00 to 20:00. Registration, free of charge, can be done through the exhibition website, instrumentosdevision.igfae.usc.es.
