Over the last few days I have been exploring some of the “material archives”, huge warehouses full of equipment, and I found an old project I had been working on, a re-activation of a “LEP cavity”, a resonator from the Large Electron Positron accelerator, the precursor the the Large Hadron Collider. This has been moved to my new “studio space”, basically a segment of an old circular accelerator complex from the 1960s, under the artificial hill near the water tower where the glowing sheep are. This somewhat decrepit building was repurposed to build the giant magnets for the LHC, and is now mainly used to store stuff (including radioactive objects, but that zone is off limits), so it’s ideal for me, and I can be as loud as need be. After 3 weeks it’s time to get things activated…
