Simetría

The Simetría Award was the former iteration of the Connect residency programme, established by Arts at CERN and Corporación Chilena de Video. Simetría was a shared residency programme that enables two artists in collaboration, to explore the relationship between astronomy and particle physics, at the CERN, and in Chile, the VLT (Very Large Telescope) observatory and ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimetre Array) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO).

Patricia Domínguez and Chloé Delarue were announced as the winners of the second edition of Simetria and completed their residency at CERN in 2021. Nicole L'Huillier and Alan Bogana were the inaugural winners, completing their residencies at CERN and Chile in 2019.
