Cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from stars in the Milky Way and beyond. While trillions of cosmic rays hit the Earth every day, the atmosphere blocks the vast majority. The cosmic rays that go through and strike atmospheric particles create showers of secondary particles that reach the planet’s surface. As a result, an invisible flux continuously bathes all of our surroundings.
A Particular Score was originally commissioned by Bienal da Maia, Portugal in 2019, and reworked for the exhibition Cosmos at Grand Hornu, Belgium in 2021. The present iteration was created inspired by their residency with Arts at CERN in 2023 and was shown at Mudac, Lausanne (Switzerland) as part of the exhibition Space is the Place in the same year.
