The Art of Quantum Forces

In an art show titled "Angular Momentum" at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, artists Chris Klapper and Patrick Gallagher explore the mysteries of quantum particles and energies. Inspired by their collaboration with scientists working on the Muon g-2 experiment, the artists aim to visualize the interactions of particles in the quantum world through their artworks. By creating visualizations of interference patterns and oscillations of particles, Klapper and Gallagher translate complex concepts of particle physics into human-scale art pieces. The artists emphasize the interconnectedness of energy and matter, prompting philosophical reflections on the nature of reality and our place in the universe. Through their artistic process, which involves simulating particle interactions using mathematical programs, the duo aims to inspire viewers to delve deeper into the language of the universe. The exhibition runs until September 3, 2024, inviting audiences to contemplate the intricate structures and forces at play in the subatomic realm.
