Arts & Culture

TRIUMF’s programming explores the collision points between art, science, and community. We connect local and national artists and practitioners with our researchers, engineers, technicians, and students to develop new ways of thinking about discovery and our Universe.

For Science Week 2022, TRIUMF Communications built this AR proof of concept, adapted from provided CERN to highlight aspects of the world’s largest particle detector collaboration that the lab contributes to. Experience this AR demo for yourself

Collaborations 

TRIUMF collaborates with artists, designers, and cultural practitioners to recontextualize big ideas from within science and academia; explore new pathways for learning and knowing; and empower our wider communities in understanding scientific research. 

Our arts and culture initiatives include:

  • Leaning out of Windows, an SSHRC-funded interdisciplinary art and science project that saw artists and scientists ‘leaning out’ of their respective windows to co-design, curate, test, and analyze models of collaboration.
  • The Global Physics Photowalk
  • An artist-in-residency program
  • Various exhibits and installations across Canada
  • A TRIUMF-themed craft beer collaboration 

 For inquiries related to art and culture collaborations, please contact Communications@TRIUMF.ca.
