Seventh Lisbon Architecture Triennale

The city is an aesthetic device: it organizes what is visible and what remains concealed, it shapes practices of instrumented and corrected knowledge, access protocols and exclusion protocols. How to understand the complex mixture of contemporary affordances where technology interacts intensively with the planet?  

Monica Bello from Arts at CERN brings to the project her experience in creating research-led projects that combine arts and science. Monica Bello is a Spanish curator and art historian. In her curatorial work she discusses the way artists instigate new conversations around emergent culture and societal phenomena, such as the role of science and technology in the perception of reality. Since 2015 she is the curator and head of Arts at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland. At CERN she curates the research-led artistic residencies and the new art commissions that reflect on the conversations and exchanges between artists and particle physicists and engineers as well as staff of the laboratory.
