Through a partnership with ATLAS Experiment at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, students travel virtually to the ATLAS control center or experience face-to-face visits with physicists to learn first hand about particle physics. They explore projection art and cutting edge interactive installations and discover how radical new theories in particle physics can expand their approach to space and time and the world around them. Students learn to create their own projection art using Tagtool, an iPad app developed by artist Markus Dorninger/OMAI. They storyboard and choreograph a live projection on to a building and video/photo document their physics-inspired work.

About the artist: Markus Dorninger aka Maki acts on the forefront of a new wave of digital art. His work comprises projection interventions in public space, as well as performances at cultural or commercial events. He often collaborates with musicians, and much of his output is based on improvisation and freestyle storytelling.
