Levitation: CERN’s new temporary exhibition explores space and time through glass art

From 13 June to 24 August 2025, the Globe of Science and Innovation at CERN presents *Levitation*, a temporary exhibition featuring glass sculptures by Slovak artist Ján Zoričák. The works incorporate metal, bronze, natural materials, and even materials from CERN experiments, exploring themes of space and time. A short AI-generated film by Nina Tahy and curator Ivan Jančár accompanies the artworks, offering additional technological perspectives.

This exhibition matters because it bridges fine art and cutting-edge science, demonstrating how artistic practice can engage with and interpret advanced physics research. By using materials from CERN experiments, Zoričák’s work creates a tangible connection between the laboratory’s scientific discoveries and the public, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and making complex scientific concepts more accessible through visual art.
