Artist Tim Otto Roth synthesizes IceCube
When artists and scientists meet, anything can happen. Tim Otto Roth met Christian Spiering, former spokesperson of the IceCube Collaboration, in Zeuthen. Tim was at DESY to present "Cosmic Revelations," an installation which resembles the KASCADE cosmic ray detector in Karlsruhe. And as soon as IceCube was mentioned in a conversation between the two of them, they were hankering to work on a neutrino installation..
