Inauguration of the "Timeframe" Building 49

As you have probably seen, the corridor collage for Building 49 (the glass walkway between buildings 513 and 31) is finally being installed. It is one of the projects that was developed as part of the CERN IT Create event that took place over two days in March 2016 at IdeaSquare. The objective of this workshop was to brainstorm and work in teams (IT department people, specialists and experts of the ECO group, and external designers – Laura Couto Rosado and Nadezda Suvorova– linked to the Arts@CERN programme) to design and produce the first prototypes of an exhibit to enhance the experience of the public visitors to the CERN data centre building. Five projects were developed at this occasion (and presented at an IT technical forum): the ‘Timeframe’ one is the first one being finalised. More information about this project can be read in the attached document. The small inauguration of this installation will take place on 28/06/17 at 10:00 in front of the glass corridor (building 49). The ribbon will be ‘co-cut’ by Charlotte Warakaulle, Lluis Miralles Verge and Frédéric Hemmer. You are cordially invited to join! Special thanks to our colleagues who accepted to be featured on some of the pictures! We hope you enjoy the end result and that it will be useful for your outreach activities to explain the history of computing at CERN (a short document for guides will be available and shared with you very soon). Renovation of building 513 public spaces is planned for the end of 2017 and the CERN IT Create other participants will be contacted very soon to discuss with them how to finalise the other projects at this occasion.
