‘Geist’ by This is Loop

Hunt for the elusive ghost particle at Liverpool ONE and interact with particles of light.
‘Geist’ – a large-scale art installation – has arrived at Liverpool ONE and you’re invited to bring it to life!
Use your body and movements to activate the artwork and illuminate the connections between art, technology and science.

Neutrinos – also known as ghost particles – are abundant but minuscule and extremely hard to detect. Particle Physics researchers at the University of Liverpool and at STFC Daresbury are leading the way in studying the fundamental properties of the universe.

Tens of trillions of neutrinos from the sun stream through your body every second, but you can’t feel them.
‘Geist’ is inspired by neutrino detector equipment. It explores the work taking place to trace neutrinos, and asks what these tiny particles might reveal about the universe.
