CERN Science Gateway
Looking for electrifying pop psychedelia or physics geekery? It doesn't matter: Cosmic Odyssey is for you.
For its very first collaboration with CERN, Antigel invites physicist Laurent Chevalier for an immersive performance lecture. Dark matter, particles, vacuum... all these dizzying concepts become crystal clear thanks to this high-flying populariser. As a visual universe, Sophie Le Meillour has remixed images from CERN to create a hypnotic and poetic VJing. All this is accompanied by an electrifying psychedelic pop soundtrack by The Sunfast and Varoujan Chetirian, perfect for a cosmic journey. A rare, luminous experience that brings art and science together... and we promise you: yes, this time, you'll understand everything.
In co-production with CERN
Laurent Chevalier is a physicist at the CEA (IRFU), a specialist in dark matter and a member of the G-LEAD project focused on axion research. A former collaborator on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, he participated in the discovery of the Higgs boson. A renowned researcher, he also teaches particle physics at Paris-Saclay University and Grenoble-Alpes University.
Sophie Le Meillour is a visual artist and VJ based in Geneva, born in 1988 in Toulouse.
A graduate in visual communication from HEAD, she plays with natural and digital textures, combining drawings, videos, installations and mapping. Her live performances (VJing) are showcased around the world, and she also runs workshops on mapping and VJing.
