The Art Gallery at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Batavia, Illinois from June 6^th to August 26^th 2005.

Top Quark Event , digital ink on paper

The image is based on a collider event from the

Tevatron at Fermilab and shows the creation of

a Top Quark, which lives for 10^-25of a second, that is a very short time, but at the exhibit, you may watch quarks for hours!!

A visual interpretation and exhibition of subatomic particle energy and matter - works from a unique collaboration between physics and art/design at the University of Michigan, showing large scale digital images, sculpture and functional objects.

		The purpose of ASCI is to raise public awareness about artists and scientists using science and technology to explore new forms of creative expression, and to increase communication and collaboration between these fields. *Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI*) is a nonprofit based in New York City that has an excellent, monthly art-sci information eBulletin, and website documenting its seminal projects nurturing the field of art-science-technology since 1995. http://www.asci.org

Acknowledgements:

The exhibited works are the result of several years of collaboration with my good colleagues Professors

Dr. Gordon Kane and

Dr. David Gerdes at the

Physics Department at

the University of Michigan.

Thank you both!

did I forget LOIS? oops... thank you too my friend!

Lots of appreciation goes to Fermilab, and Georgia Schwender at the Art Gallery for inviting the exhibit.

Thanks also to Office of the Vice President of Research at University of Michigan and Dean Bryan Rogers at the School of Art&Design for their financial support, and Professorial Colleagues Sherri Smith, Dennis Miller and Dwayne Overmyer for their constructive critique and collaboration.
