Physicists from TRIUMF, Canada's particle physics accelerator, presented key concepts in the physics of Antimatter, Emergence, and In\/visible Forces to artists convened by Emily Carr University of Art + Design; the participants then generated conversations, process drawings, diagrams, field notes, and works of art. The \"wondrous back-and-forth\" of this process allowed both scientists and artists to, as Koenig and Cutler describe, \"lean out of our respective fields of inquiry and inhabit the infinite spaces of not knowing.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom this leaning into uncertainty comes a rich array of work towards furthering the shared project of artists and scientists in shaping cultural understandings of the universe: \u003cb\u003eOtoniya J. Okot Bitek\u003c\/b\u003e reflects on the invisible forces of power; \u003cb\u003eJess H. Brewer\u003c\/b\u003e contemplates emergence, free will, and magic; \u003cb\u003eMimi Gellman \u003c\/b\u003elooks at the resonances between Indigenous Knowledge and physics; \u003cb\u003eJeff Derksen\u003c\/b\u003e finds Hegelian dialectics within the matter–antimatter process; \u003cb\u003eSanem Güvenç\u003c\/b\u003e considers the possibilities of the void; \u003cb\u003eNirmal Raj\u003c\/b\u003e ponders the universe's \"special moment of light and visibility\" we happen to inhabit; \u003cb\u003eSadira Rodrigues\u003c\/b\u003e eschews the artificiality of the lab for a “boring berm of dirt”; and \u003cb\u003eMarina Roy\u003c\/b\u003e metaphorically turns beams of stable and radioactive gold particles into art of pigments, oils, liquid plastic, and wood. Combined with additional essays, diagrams, and artworks, these texts and artworks live in the intersection of disparate fields that nonetheless share a deep curiosity of the world and our place within it, and a dedication to building and sharing knowledges.","brand":"Ingrid Koenig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959949103222,"sku":"9781773272177","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_20cf3fce-db65-496d-bab8-b150fa4e803b.jpg?v=1767781654","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/leaning-out-of-windows-9781773272177","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
