1. A glimpse into the life and work of ATLAS physicists working At ATLAS/CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.

2. The Installation Concept This installation invites the viewer to meet physicists as people, to see a bit of their daily work and what they are searching for. In the end, the questions they are trying to answer, with their complex apparatus and multinational collaboration, are the ones that everyone would also like to understand. Format Interactive Zone at the entrance/exit –Big Questions 4 simultaneous audiovisual displays on 4 walls; content: –Physicists as individuals –The Collaboration –Daily Work –The Goal – Collision Event Display

3. Big Questions The entrance will portray a large image of a black board with questions such as “Where do we come from?” printed on it. At the exit there will be a real black board where the public can add their own questions with chalk.
