A little art project, inspired by particle physics collisions.
Just like in a collision in the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, particles of colour collide at high energy and create a seemingly chaotic pattern in the detector. Admittedly, the energies are nowhere near those at the LHC and unlike in (real) high-energy collisions the outgoing ‘particles’ are still those that went into the collision, but yet there is a few commonalities. It is also coloured particles that collide in the LHC and the conservation of energy and momentum holds also in the Colliding Colours setup (even on a classical level).
Eventually I might take the setup to public events and have people join me making coloured collisions and create art inspired by particle physics collisions.
Some impressions …
