Ryoji Ikeda’s (b. 1966) exhibition project supersymmetry is the artist’s vision of the physical nature of our world.

About

Ikeda’s installation is based on the theory of supersymmetry, originating in particle physics; it attempts to explain via elementary particles – bosons and fermions – why the particles have mass.

The research into supersymmetric particles is being conducted near Geneva at CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. The collisions of composite particles initiated in the Large Hadron Collider will hopefully shed light on these new particles.

Ikeda’s supersymmetry is an installation that grew out of his audiovisual performancesuperposition (2012–…), which was created in 2014–2015 during an art residence at CERN.

He is the winner of the Prix Ars Electronica Collide@CERN 2014 for “supersymmetry”.
