Tap anywhere to play
A modern residency reviving Carlsberg's research spirit: public-facing experiments in motion, resonance, and perception — physics you can hear, see, and feel.
Reawaken Carlsberg's early-20th-century lab ethos for today: tangible physics for a public audience. Chladni plates, pendulums, light-tone interference — industrial warmth, green-pearl calm.
Value: civic curiosity · accessible science · cultural resonance
Copper, glass, and soft green. Oscilloscopes + water resonance trays. Safe, touchable experiments. Guided by scientists and artists together.
Miss Monique — Motion as a synesthetic idea garden (schedule permitting)
with Marina — The mirror, the key, co-creator
Tove Styrke — Following the pull, moving through what we don't understand yet
Invitation extended to:
Sigrid · Dagny · Dua Lipa · Ariana Grande · Aurora · Kim Petras · Sabrina Carpenter · Doechii · Tove Lo
and Rosalía
and Taylor Swift
As each artist wants, schedule permitting. Local Copenhagen fellows join for live experiments.
All stations run at gentle volumes with clear signage, seating, and accessibility routes.
Where Carlsberg once pursued purity in yeast and the pH scale, the Field Lab pursues clarity in frequency. It lets the public feel science as culture — the bridge between measurement and meaning.
Digital spaces where physics becomes play, wonder becomes learning, and curiosity finds community.
For Fun:
This field is open to artists who work comfortably at thresholds —
between control and release, clarity and distortion.
Invitation is informal, optional, and timing-aware.
These spaces exist for exploration, not extraction.
Creating a gentle, inclusive space for scientific wonder:
Physics should be accessible to everyone. These measures ensure the lab welcomes visitors with sensory sensitivities, mobility needs, and varying comfort levels with crowds and technology.
What this timeline means:
For Carlsberg: A 3-month pilot to test heritage-science programming with minimal commitment. If successful, it becomes a recurring seasonal residency.
For artists: A 2–5 day immersive residency (not a performance obligation) — time to explore physics experiments, collaborate with scientists, and create if inspired. The public weekend is observational, not extractive.
For universities: A public outreach opportunity with built-in audience and documentation. Physics demos designed by researchers become accessible to non-specialists.
For the public: A free (or low-cost) weekend where you can touch Chladni plates, watch pendulums synchronize, and ask physicists questions in a brewery that once revolutionized biochemistry.
Depending on interest: This could be a one-time experiment, a quarterly series, or the foundation for a permanent public physics lab at Carlsberg. The timeline is designed to be low-risk and high-curiosity.
Interested in hosting or co-creating the pilot?

This pilot complements the Illumina ecosystem: Wonder (why), Read (understand), Motion (do). Additional sites are expanding; Field Lab stands alone today.
