The art in physics : creating "LABPUNK"

journal contribution
posted on 2017-12-06, 00:00 authored by M Wegener, Anita Milroy
Sometimes physics fascinates just because of its aesthetics. It could be the artistic appeal of an experimental image, a beautiful object used in doing physics, a pleasing curve that relates parameters. The authors of this article see possibilities for art in the artefacts of physics - in bits of lab equipment, experimental results, and theoretical models. One is a scientist with a passion for art, the other an artist with a passion for science. Collaboratively they are making original works of art which may be worn as jewellery, or as enjoyed as sculpture, by re-purposing physics artefacts.
