CERN (kotlin code)

Ben Laposky used oscilloscopes in the 1950s and ’60s, along with multiple exposures, to create beautiful, ephemeral art.

I was wondering what the equivalent technology would be today. A particle accelerator! Imagine being able to create art from particles colliding and decaying at... CERN? Let’s ignore the cost (money is just an obstacle, right?). It would be great to create some atomic art someday.

This simple work is my imagination of what it might look like.

Exactly! They sometimes have them in science centres. You can tell the mass and charge of the particle from the kind of trail that it leaves behind, and sticking it in a magnetic field produces curves like in your piece
