Artists and group of artists from all the world are encouraged to apply for a fully funded Residency Program in Switzerland and Denmark. Collide is an annual residency program for artists who are highly motivated to interact with scientists and engineers and who have a strong interest in science and technology. CERN intends to enhance and contribute to the larger international network where science and art are combined.
During this international residency award, the chosen artist or collective will be at CERN in Geneva for the first month and for the second month, they will be at Copenhagen Contemporary in Copenhagen. The artists will work with scientists, engineers, and staff at both places to conduct research for their proposal during the residency. After the residencies, a remote phase will be conducted with the assistance of curator teams in Geneva and Copenhagen to define and create a new work of art.
Collide is a collaborative residency program in Europe between CERN and Copenhagen Contemporary. Arts at CERN and Copenhagen Contemporary encourage proposals that examine the role of cutting-edge technologies and scientific research in modern culture and their implications on society. The artworks are on display in museums all over the world.
