The unique spirit of Jiggling Atoms is based around collaborations between artists and research physicists Malte Oppermann (Imperial College London) and Dr. Ben Still (Queen Mary University). Inspired by Nobel laureate Richard Feynman and his wonderful ability to teach physics to non-scientists, teaching was where this project began.

All artists attended lectures at Imperial College London, written especially for the project by Malte Oppermann and Jennifer Crouch, with a final lecture by Dr. Ben Still. Exploring a range of particle-physics topics in depth, the artists developed their own take on the subject creating games, images, sculptures, comics and info-graphics for the Jiggling Atoms exhibition. With such diverse creative input the exhibition will provide a truly unique visual experience.

Jiggling Atoms was conceived by Camberwell BA Illustration graduate Natalie Kay-Thatcher and is co-curated and organised by Rosie Eveleigh, Jennifer Crouch (both also of Camberwell), Malte Oppermann and Dr. Ben Still. With support from the Science and Technology Facilities Council and The Institute of Physics, Jiggling Atoms seeks to increase the presence of science in the visual arts, opening a channel of science-oriented communication rarely used in this context or with this intensity.
