Leaning Out of Windows

Interdisciplinary art/science collaboration: This work will appeal to artists and physicists alike, particularly those interested in building cross-disciplinary knowledge. The Leaning Out of Windows project paired artists with physicists researching antimatter and related phenomena, and the physicists were asked to respond to the artists in any form, from dialogue or written comments to drawings and equations. This piece in Canadian Art gives further information about the project and includes some of the artwork created, which will be featured in the book.

Participants from international physics labs: Participants include researchers and students affiliated with CERN, a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world; Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität (music, dance and theatre) in Linz, Austria; Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, near Chicago, Illinois, a United States Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics; and TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics and accelerator-based science, located at the University of British Columbia.

Design-focused art book: The Emily Carr University of Art + Design is one of the project's major stakeholders, and the book will be an art object of its own. Award-winning typographer and book designer Robin Mitchell Cranfield will be designing the book. Photographs from the resulting art projects will be featured in the book as well.
