This video documents the making of an art project commissioned by the ATLAS Experiment at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The three-story-tall mural was painted by international artist Josef Kristofoletti on the side of the ATLAS control room directly above the detector. This project was inspired by the same questions that physicists are trying to answer; where did we come from, what does it mean to be human, and what is our place in the universe?


The artist worked closely with physicists at CERN over the course of a year to create the mural. It depicts the artist's interpretation of what the Higgs boson might look like. This short, time-lapse video was finished June 2012, using photos that were taken during the project's execution in 2010. The project garnered major press around the world at the time of its completion, and subsequent to its success CERN has initiated a three-year-long artist residency program starting this year. On July 4th, CERN will announce the highly-anticipated results of its data analysis from this past year.  There are many speculations to what the announcement could be, and timing could hardly be better for the completion and launch of Josef Kristofoletti’s video.

Josef is available for interviews or questions regarding this project.
