Exhibition: 23–30 April 2026
𝚫 (delta) is developed within the CERN Connect residency and takes the form of a website for mobile phones, fully unfolding its soundscape only when visitors gather in a space together.
The exhibition examines the effects of data as abstraction and asks what the resulting difference (𝚫) between reality and its reconstruction produces: what is displaced, reduced, or rendered inaccessible in the process of making data and, in parallel, in the formation of personal memories. The web-based work thus also reflects on the original intention behind the World Wide Web, developed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN): that data should be accessible to anyone from anywhere.
The guiding question structuring the work is based on the main experiments conducted at CERN: the recording of particle collisions in order to observe the fragments produced and to gain better insight into the creation of the universe. The challenge of recording these events and reconstructing them with sufficient precision for subsequent study is closely linked to the challenge of recording, mediating, and distributing memories. This forms a central concern within the practice of the artist Amanda E. Metzger, who, since 2022, has experimented with establishing a network of herself by initiating nodes in different cities across Europe, forming a "multi-bodymind". In this way, she attends events and collects these experiences, which serve as material for her output.
