In a collaboration between astroparticle physicists, animation artists from
the award-winning Science Communication Lab, and musician Carsten Nicolai
(a.k.a. Alva Noto), two cosmic particle accelerators have been brought to life:
the massive binary star Eta Carinae, and the exploding star, which resulted in
the gamma-ray burst GRB190829A. For Eta Carinae, the computer-generated images
are close to reality because the measured orbital, stellar and wind parameters
were used for this purpose. Particle acceleration in the jet of GRB190829A has
also been animated at a level of detail not seen before. The internationally
acclaimed multimedia artist Carsten Nicolai, who uses the pseudonym Alva Noto
for his musical works, exclusively composed the sound for the animations. The
multimedia projects aim at making the discoveries more accessible to the
general public, and to mediate scientific results and their reference to
reality from an artistic point of view.
