An ATLAS art installation at AlbaNova

Since early Autumn the ATLAS Art Installation is on the first floor of Stockholm House of Science at AlbaNova.
“In ATLAS we have made rather artistic animations of particle physics. In addition an artist has made the mural painting at CERN on one of the ATLAS buildings. The ATLAS events have also been rather artistic and made it to the many magazines and newspapers. I think that is why the installation is called the ATLAS Art Installation. I prefer to call it the People of ATLAS, as it is very much about the ATLAS people.” says Erik Johansson, professor at the Oskar Klein Centre.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is one of the most known and diffused creativity boosting techniques used for getting fresh ideas. While brainstorming can also be done by individuals, it is most effective when done in a group of 10-12 people.
The technique is in principle very simple. A topic of discussion should be clarified and well defined at the beginning of a brainstorming session, possibly in terms of a question to answer. The definition of the task is important and one of the key of a successful brainstorming session.
