John Ellis, Omar Zapata, Alba Triana
| Host: Daniela Brill
In this conversation, we talk with particle physicist John Ellis, software developer Omar Zapata and sound artist Alba Triana, about the use of scientific and artistic tools in the construction and generation of knowledge in both art and science. What computer, data, technological and visual tools, among others, allow us to answer fundamental questions from art and science?
John Ellis
Theoretical physicist born in the United Kingdom. His research interests focus on the phenomenological aspects of elementary particle physics and its connections with astrophysics, cosmology and quantum gravity, and he is currently very active in efforts to understand the Higgs particle recently discovered at CERN, as well as its implications for possible new physics such as dark matter and supersymmetry.
Omar Zapata
Omar is a computer scientist and software developer, researcher at CERN in the EP-SFT department. Since a couple of years he is also applying this knowledge to medical research with the aim to use Artificial Intelligence and medical image processing such as MRI for cancer detection and X-ray and CT for COVID-19 and pneumonia detection.
Alba Triana
Alba Triana's artistic practice focuses on exploring the inherent intelligence of nature. Her works, which are musically conceived and include interactive installations, resonant spaces, light and sound sculptures and vibrational objects, are hybrid and cross the boundaries of a diverse spectrum of fields.
Daniela Brill
M.A. in Art and Science from the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her work focuses on theories of science, especially particle physics and cosmology. Daniela works in collaboration with scientific institutions such as CERN through art@CMS, Hephy and the Cavendish Laboratories in Cambridge.
