Guest artist Armin Linke, from Arts at CERN, and Rolf Heuer in discussion

Armin Linke here in discussion with Rolf Heuer, former CERN Director General. Artist Armin Linke is a photographer and filmmaker combining a range of contemporary image processing technologies to blur the border between fiction and reality. Linke indagates the formation – so called Gestaltung - of the natural, technological and urban environment in which we are living. In a collective approach with other artists, curators, designers, architects, historians, philosophers and scientists, the narratives of his works expand on the level of multiple discourses. Linke has visited CERN several times. In 2000, his photographs of the computer centre showed its material infrastructure and technology, revealing these largely invisible landscapes and capturing CERN's computing history. On this occasion, Linke is back to the Laboratory to explore the question of what makes an image in a data-driven world.
