U(ZH)N/EARTH - Art and Science 1600 meters below ground

We could find the answers to the universe's biggest questions deep underground. Inspiring art can also be created underground.

Deep underground, 1600 meters below , researchers are searching for the answers to the universe's greatest mysteries. Here, at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota (USA), experiments are protected from the influence of cosmic radiation. The research facility is home to experiments investigating dark matter and neutrinos.

As artist in residence at SURF, Prof. Gina Gibson created artworks inspired by the extraordinary environment of the research facility that visualize the search for the invisible. Let yourself be inspired by the fascinating research and the inspiring works and experience the union of art and science.
