Step inside the extraordinary world of particle physics during Harwell Campus’ 80th year.

OPEN TO EVERYONE

This November, Harwell welcomes HALO, a large-scale immersive artwork by artist duo Semiconductor. It turns real particle collision data from CERN into light, sound and movement.

A collision of light, sound and science

Step inside HALO’s vast cylindrical structure and become surrounded by a 360-degree projection. As patterns emerge across the screen, the same scientific data triggers 384 vertical wires, turning the installation into an immense musical instrument.

Collisions that happen in fractions of a second are slowed down, revealing movements and patterns usually hidden from view. The result is a powerful encounter with the experiments helping scientists understand the building blocks of our universe.

• Date: Friday 6th November
• Time: 16:00 – 18:00
• Tickets: SOLD OUT
• Location: Tech Foundry 3, Harwell Campus, OX11 0GD (Google Maps here)

Car Parking: Free parking is available directly outside the venue. There is no EV charging available to visitors on campus.

We’re planning an exciting programme of events for different audiences at HALO – keep an eye out for further announcements.
