Sumario:Keith Tyson's new exhibition is called Supercollider, the nickname of the CERN particle accelerator in Geneva. "Tyson's attempts to evoke the wonders of the universe include a sphere that changes colour (at least this is pretty), a big, tedious revolving machine with pieces of meteor stuck to it, a massive painting of the "infinite cellular blanket" that resembles a jokey version of the last days of 1960s art, and a 12-part drawing that can be arranged in any order called A Night in a Billion. Chance and the infinite unlikeliness of existence is his heavily stated theme."
