for the creation of their wedding rings, will reveal the secrets behind 
the project.

Publications: DVD: Pioneers in Art and Science: Art, Poetry and 
Particle Physics

Ken McMullen’s extraordinary new film sees John Berger travelling to 
CERN in Geneva for a wide-ranging and provocative series of discussions 
and collaborations with the experimental and theoretical physicists 
Michael Doser and John March Russell.  In Ken McMullen’s engaging and 
accessible film, he travels to the world’s biggest particle physics 
laboratory at CERN in Geneva to confront physicists with poetry. The
