Robert Henke is a Berlin based artist who was experimenting with electronic music since the mid 1990’s. He is responsible for Monolake project as well
as one of the most influential music production software Ableton Live. Being a conceptual artist Henke released several albums inspired by CERN
(European Council for Nuclear Research) and other research in the field nuclear physics. As he wrote in one of album’s descriptions, physics was his
passion since childhood but he never felt quite smart enough (as he puts it) to become a physicist himself. In his project Atom he collaborated with
Christopher Bauder to create an installation that united sound, light and sculpture into one visual-audio minimalistic treat. White self-illuminated
spheres corresponded to the rhythm and textures of the sounds produced by the artists while representing the movement of atoms.

pretty cool! i wish it had more of an interaction with the viewer, but the presence is over-powering.
I believe people were sitting under the spheres and although they probably did not interact with them physically their sensory interaction was overwhelming 😉
