Resonance, residency at CERN for Geneva-based artists and collectives

Resonance is a residency programme that invites artists based in Geneva to expand their practice in connection with physics by engaging in meaningful dialogue with CERN’s scientists, engineers, and staff.

Resonance targets Geneva-based artists who work at the intersection of art and science. The annual call invites proposals that present compelling visions for engaging with CERN’s singular research, community, and technologies, alongside its opportunities for cultural engagement.

The selected artist or collective will immerse themselves in CERN’s dynamic environment to develop their proposal, supported by a tailored programme designed by Arts at CERN’s team. Following the residency, artists will create new work inspired by CERN’s research and their exchanges with its community.

Resonance is a partnership framework between CERN, the City of Geneva and the Republic and Canton of Geneva for the period 2024–2027. An annual open call will invite submissions, with one artist or collective selected each year by a panel of experts.
