Cosmic Song is a work of art and cosmic ray detector embedded in the floor of one of the building entrances at CERN. It lights up with the constant rain of cosmic ray particles from outer space as people stand on the sculpture. The piece is made by the French artist Serge Moro.

This remind anybody else of the travelstone from Ellis & Cassaday’s Planetary series?

Not the best pic I know, but you get the idea.  Seeing it again reminds me how much I loved some of the ideas in that story.

TL;DR: I need to read fucking Planetary again.  So do you.

Eclipse by Adam David Brown

Brown describes his piece:

Using an ordinary blackboard I layered the scientific notation of Newton, Einstein and Hawking in order to make a black hole.
