Yet, it Moves! Symposium
CC Symposium: Yet, It Moves!
Are there ways in which artists could work with scientists to not simply translate what science learnt yesterday but expand each other’s fields of interests?
It is the question nourishing this symposium and “Yet, It Moves!”, a research and exhibition project initiated by Copenhagen Contemporary in 2021, which adventurously seeks to expand the understanding of movement, to ‘yet, move’, even further, the limits of human knowledge.
The symposium Yet, it Moves! Everything moves – around, above and within us explores one of the fundamental constants in the universe: movement of all kinds and scales, from the tiniest atomic particles to the human body and the macrocosm of the stars.
The symposium offers a look behind the scenes of the exhibition “Yet, It Moves!” and dive deeply into the subject of movement together with some of the most talented minds who, across art and science, have pushed the knowledge forward on some of the biggest questions about the universe.
Over the past two years, Danish and international artists have been invited to join “Yet, It Moves!” and work with some of the world’s most prominent research institutions. Their collaboration has resulted in a range of spectacular artworks unfolding the theme of motion as an omnipresent phenomenon and raising awareness of the many complex movement patterns we are all entangled in. Nothing stands still. Even things we consider immutable are in constant motion – within, above and around us. Recognized in glimpses, this greater, moving whole is embodied in spectacular artworks, which you can exclusively experience before anyone else at the symposium before the exhibition opens to the public later the same day.
Join us for a day in the company of international artists, professors from the research section DARK at the Niels Bohr Institute, researchers in biotechnology and particle physics etc., where you can see and hear more about spectacular artworks and complex phenomena like cosmic movement, stardust, black holes, outer sounds, and the connection between quantum mechanics and human brains.
