In the inquiries of quantum physics, the great questions of the arts and science coexist. A|CERCA DEL ORIGEN is both the proximity in space-time to the Big Bang and the inquiry into the emergence of the universe. The origin as a singularity, where the laws of physics as we know them do not manifest themselves, where time does not exist and therefore there is no "before". The origin as the absence of boundaries - why does something exist instead of nothing (Hawking & Mlodinov, 2010, p.16)?

The possibility of going back in time to a few milliseconds after the Big Bang, the discovery of the Higgs boson, the creation of monumental experiments to collide particles and the creation of antimatter in a laboratory have in recent times accelerated the production of hundreds of theories, hypotheses and new understandings of matter and the universe. Where does artistic thinking link with scientific thinking to explore the origin of everything?

Suratómica opens a space for creation and collaboration between these disciplines, giving space and strengthening reflections on contemporary science, development and access to knowledge. In this first cycle organized in collaboration with art@CMS, the arts program of the CMS experiment of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research, we explore the possibilities of working with physics through artistic tools and approaches from Latin America.

In a fundamentally collaborative process, the artists explore the plastic possibilities of the most recent theories of physics, propose new ways of visualizing scientific readings of the world, approach biophysics to engage in conversations with neuroscience and question the implications of scientific narratives in our daily lives. Artistic experiences enhanced by new technological media that inquire about the origin, its nature and its possible non-existence.
