ORIGIN is a network founded in January 2018 by the ATLAS and CMS managements, rapidly joined by several high energy and astrophysics collaborations and research centres. Its purpose is to create and support events, exhibits and workshops where public engagement and education are enhanced by both art and science. 2018-2019 projects are documented on this little social media report of 2018/2019 activities
Phase 1 pitch:
Stereotypes are still a challenge for many STEM fields, including physics and engineering. ORIGIN events aim to overcome these by creating an environment infused with a variety of perspectives, tools and skills. Scientists and artists join forces to demystify concepts and practises, engaging students and the general public to integrate them into everyday life.
The project initially grew around an exhibition called "Origin and Evolution of the Universe through Art and Science". We chose to keep and highlight the name ORIGIN because it is a theme that unites all people. Philosophers, artists, scientists, and human beings in general consider and address it. By creating events where the question of origins is looked at from diverse perspectives we aim to inspire awe, creativity and critical thinking.
TALKS
- LHCP 2016 outreach parallel session: STEAM in ATLAS and CMS
- LHC Outreach Group (LOG), Nov 2018, CERN: The ORIGIN network, a work in progress
- Muographer General Assembly, Dec 2018, Tokyo: ATLAS and the arts, from Art-Science partnerships to ORIGIN
- EPS 2019 outreach parallel session: Origin Mexico, and Art-Science exhibit for LHCP19
Phase 2 layout:
The ORIGIN project in now integrated in the IPPOG exhibits & public events working group. This allows a smooth and flexible ecosystem, under the leadership of Michael Hoch.
