Art Art a linking bridge Enrico Magnani (artist, Reggio Emilia, Italy)ReviewsAuthor Information"Marilena Streit-Bianchi received a doctorate in Biological Sciences from the University of Rome and joined CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva (Switzerland), in 1969. She has been a pioneer in the study of high-energy particles produced by accelerators for cancer treatment. She has held managerial positions on safety training and technology transfer, has been a senior honorary staff member at CERN, and is actively engaged in art and science as a book editor and curator of exhibitions in Europe and Mozambique. She is the vice president of the international association ARSCIENCIA and a member of the Italian Physics Society (SIF). She has been one of the editors of the book “Mare Plasticum-The Plastic Sea -Combatting Plastic Pollution Through Science and Art”, published by Springer. Paola Catapano is a science journalist and science communicator. In 1987 she graduated in simultaneous interpreting from the University of Trieste and in 1997 she obtained a master’s degree in Science Journalism from SISSA (International School for Advanced Studies), Trieste. At CERN since 1990, she is currently head of the editorial content production in CERN’s Education, Communication and Outreach group. In 2010-11, she authored and hosted the TV program DIXIT Science for the Italian National Television, RAI. She has created and led the research expedition to the Arctic Polarquest2018, whose program included historical exploration, measurements of cosmic rays, drone mapping of uncharted territories, and plastic debris sampling until the 82°nd parallel (conferences and book “Mare Plasticum-The Plastic Sea -Combatting Plastic Pollution Through Science and Art”). She has participated in several Science Festivals, and won international awards. Cristiano Galbiati is a particle physicist that received his Ph.D. from the University of Milan. He is a full professor at the Physics Department of Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey) and professor of Particle Astrophysics at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI L’Aquila, Italy). His research has been on solar neutrinos and he is now the coordinator of the experiment DarkSide at the INFN National Laboratories of Gran Sasso, and of the project Aria at Monte Sinni in Carbosulcis (Gonnesa, Sardegna) searching for dark matter. In addition to his many scientific publications, he is the author of the book ""Entità obscure. Viaggio ai limiti dell’Universo"", published by Feltrinelli in 2018. Enrico Magnani is an international artist who integrates into his works, art, science, and transcendence. He graduated as a nuclear engineer at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2004 and worked as a scientist at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for the nuclear fusion projects ITER and DEMO (2006-2010). At a certain point in his scientific career, he decided to dedicate himself entirely to art. His work has been presented in museums, foundations, private galleries, and public institutions in Europe and the United States. In 2017 he started a series of artworks titled “Supernova”, while in 2019 the exhibition at CERN “Searching the Unknown - The Dark Matter Collection”. In 2020 he realized a permanent installation “Quintessence” at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
